Gaza’s civil defence agency says a drone attack overnight seriously injured a hospital chief in an attack on the healthcare facility, and 11 people were killed in Israeli raids on the Palestinian territory, Al Jazeera reports.
Hussam Abu Safia heads the Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of just two partly operating in northern Gaza, as the war-ravaged territory is in the grip of a dire humanitarian crisis.
Abu Safia suffered an injury to his back and left thigh by metal fragments after an attack on the hospital complex, civil defence agency spokesperson Mahmoud Basal told AFP.
After losing a lot of blood, the doctor was in a “stable” condition, Bassal said, adding an Israeli drone bombed the hospital in Beit Lahiya, north Gaza.
