Doctors Without Borders has said that Israeli forces raided and opened fire inside the Turkish hospital in Tubas in the occupied West Bank, Anadolu reports.

MSF International said on X that Israeli forces detained staff, intimidated patients and caused damage to the emergency room.

“During this hour-long raid, five medical staff were detained and one person was wounded. Medical staff on site were threatened at gunpoint and subjected to aggressive questioning. Patients were told to stay still or they would be shot and killed,” the medical charity said.

“This violent incursion is unacceptable and shocking,” argued Karine Robert, MSF deputy head of mission for Palestine.
