The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced today that Israeli forces arrested a large number of medical staff inside the Nasser Medical Complex, west of Khan Yunis, in the south of the Strip.

The Ministry took to its official social media account on X (formerly Twitter) and said, “The Israeli occupation forces arrested a large number of medical staff from inside the Nasser Medical Complex, which they turned into a military barracks.”

Since October 7, Israel has been waging a large-scale war on the Gaza Strip after Hamas carried out an unprecedented attack on the Israeli towns adjacent to the Gaza Strip, killing several Israelis.

For the first time since 2014, the Israeli army carried out a ground manoeuvre in various areas of the Gaza Strip amid intensifying battles between its members and Palestinian fighters.
