Gaza (Quds News Network)- Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, was injured in an Israeli airstrike while inspecting patients inside the facility. This attack is the latest in a series of assaults on the hospital, which has been targeted daily during Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Less than a month ago, Israeli forces besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital, detaining several doctors, including Dr. Abu Safiyya, along with displaced residents and patients for interrogation. Although Dr. Abu Safiyya was released shortly after, his son was killed in an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza. The strike was part of Israel’s genocide.
Since October 5, northern Gaza, including the densely populated Jabalia refugee camp, has been subjected to relentless Israeli attacks.
