Northern Gaza’s last remaining major hospital is now out of service after a raid by Israeli forces severely damaged the building and emptied its wards of patients and doctors.

Israeli forces raided northern Gaza's last hospital and detained its director as a purported Hamas suspect. U.N. officials say he must be freed immediately.

The Israel Defense Forces continues its intense airstrike and ground campaigns in Gaza. Tensions remain high between Israel and Iran after tit-for-tat long-range strikes in recent months and threats of further military action from both sides.
