Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, on Monday called on Israel to release a prominent clinician detained in the Gaza Strip. The director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, Hussam Abu Safia, must be released immediately,

The Israeli military said Hamas militants were the targets of the strike on Gaza City's Al Wafa hospital, which the Palestinian civil defence said killed seven people.

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.

Israeli attacks on hospitals in Gaza have devastated the Palestinian enclave's health system and raised serious concerns about Israel's compliance with international law, the U.N. Human Rights Office said in a report on Tuesday.

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.
