One of the last remaining hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip has stopped operating after being stormed by the Israeli army, its director said, AFP reports.

Fadel Naim told AFP Israeli troops had attacked the Al-Ahli hospital and arrested doctors, medical staff and patients, destroying part of the building’s grounds.

Israel’s attack has “put the hospital out of action”, he said. “We can’t receive any patients or injured.”

At least four people who were wounded by Israeli fire on Monday died on Tuesday after being injured in the Al-Ahli assault, he said.

“According to our information, there are dozens of wounded in the surrounding streets,” he said.
