Three staff members of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza were wounded, one critically, when the Israeli occupation army bombed the facility’s courtyard again on Tuesday, the Palestinian Information Centre has reported. This was the fifth attack by the Israeli occupation army on the medical facility in recent weeks.

A medical source said that at least one Israeli quadcopter was used in the attack. One of the wounded employees is now in the intensive care unit.

The hospital’s director, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, said that drones were dropping bombs, scattering shrapnel at the site.

Meanwhile, media sources reported a surge in Israeli air strikes on Gaza City where Al-Ahli Hospital has been struggling to deal with mass casualties.
