The Israeli military on Saturday (Dec 28) said that it had detained the director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital, Hossam Abu Safiyeh, on suspicion of "being a Hamas terrorist operative" during a raid that the World Health Organization (WHO) said emptied northern Gaza's last major health facility.&nbsp;

This comes just days after Abu Safiyeh had accused Israel of targeting the hospital "with the intent to kill and forcibly displace the people inside".
