GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) - Two doctors and several outpatients evening were injured late Friday when the Israeli army opened fire on the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, a medical source told Anadolu.

The source said the Israeli army's quadcopter drones fired bullets and grenades at the hospital in the Beit Lahia area that injured doctors and outpatients.

The situation is "very catastrophic" in the light of the targeting and siege by Israel, under which no medical supplies and food have been able to get to the hospital, the source added.

Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, earlier urged the international community "to save the northern Gaza Strip before it's too late."

He noted that the army targeted the hospital's electricity generators and disabled its oxygen station.

Israel has launched a large-scale ground operation in northern Gaza since Oct. 5 to allegedly prevent the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, from regrouping. Palestinians, however, accuse Israel of seeking to occupy the area and forcibly displace its residents.

Mo humanitarian aid, including food, medicine and fuel, has since been allowed into the area, leaving most of the population on the verge of imminent famine.

More than 2,300 people have since been killed, according to Palestinian Civil Defense.

The onslaught was the latest episode in a brutal Israeli war on Gaza that has killed more than 44,000 victims, mostly women and children, since Oct. 7, 2023.

Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.

In a landmark move, the International Criminal Court announced Thursday that it issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense chief Yoav Gallant for war crimes in Palestinian territories, including Gaza.
