Ashraf Al Qudra, the spokesman of Gaza’s Health Ministry, said that “the occupation targeted Nasser Medical Complex with an artillery shell, if it exploded, it would cause a massacre”. The Health Ministry in Gaza also said Israeli forces had stormed Al Awda hospital in northern Gaza overnight and detained medical staff following several days of siege and bombing.
