Palestinian medics remove one kilogram shrapnel piece from elderly man

The Palestine Red Crescent Society said one of its medical teams at al-Amal Hospital conducted a successful operation on an elderly man injured by Israeli fire in Khan Younis.

In the procedure, the doctors removed a piece of shrapnel weighing one kilogram from the man's shoulder.

"The success of the operation is notable, given the limited resources and challenging conditions imposed by the Israeli siege on the hospital," the organisation said.
