Israeli forces kill three Palestinians near Kamal Adwan Hospital

Israeli forces have targeted the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, killing three civilians and wounding several others, according to Wafa news agency.

The hospital in Beit Lahia has come under relentless Israeli bombardment since Saturday evening.

Staff at the facility have issued urgent appeals for the protection of patients and healthcare workers, after Israel ordered the hospital - one of the only partially functional medical facilities in Gaza - to be evacuated.

Medical sources told Wafa that Israeli forces targeted the hospital with bombs, artillery shells and sniper fire.

They said that the women's, maternity and neonatal wards came under attack. The bombardment caused extensive damage and severed communication with the medical teams inside.
