Israeli drone attacks near the refugee camp Shati in northern Gaza killed twelve people and injured several others on Friday, according to Gaza's civil defense.

The civil defense took care of twelve martyrs and several injured after Israeli drone attacks on a group of citizens and a vehicle waiting for emergency aid, says the civil defense spokesperson Mahmud Bassal.

Gaza resident Mustafa Abu Aita witnessed the event.

They hit a small white bus with a robot, and another robot hit people standing on the road, which led to deaths and injuries, he says.

Israel's military has not commented on the incident.

Last Functioning Hospital

Israeli forces have during a raid on a hospital in northern Gaza detained hundreds of staff, patients, and people seeking shelter there, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health department.

"Israeli forces have stormed and are present at the Kamal Adwan hospital" in the city of Jabalia, the department states in a statement.

The hospital is the last one functioning in the northern part of the strip.

"They are detaining hundreds of patients, medical staff, and some people who have fled from nearby areas and sought shelter."

"Alarming Development"

WHO's Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus writes on X that they have lost contact with hospital staff.

"This development is very alarming given the number of patients being treated and people taking shelter there", he writes.

Israel's military confirms that it has forces in the hospital area. The forces' operation is "based on intelligence information about the presence of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure", it is stated in a statement.

Many Killed in Khan Yunis

Further south, in the city of Khan Yunis, nearly 40 people have been killed in Israeli attacks, according to Gaza's civil defense.

According to reports, the attacks were directed at two different homes and took place early on Friday morning.

Israel's military says in a statement that "a number of terrorists have been eliminated" in southern Gaza.

As Israeli forces continue their operations across Gaza, Israel's military has intensified its air and ground attacks in the northern part of the Gaza Strip over the past weeks, where Hamas members are currently regrouping, according to the military.
