Israelis hit Beit Lahia in Gaza Strip again, health ministry says

At least 10 people have died in attacks mounted by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip, the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry said on Wednesday.

Residential blocks and the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia in the north had come under fire, the health authority said.

Hospital director Hussam Abu Safiya told the Palestinian news agency WAFA that the intensive care unit had been hit and set alight. While the patients had been saved, the situation was catastrophic, he said.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was checking the report.
