TEHRAN, Nov. 23 (MNA) – A doctor at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City has said that the facility’s director and several other medical personnel have been arrested by Israeli forces.

“Doctor Mohammad Abu Salmiya was arrested along with several other senior doctors,” said Khalid Abu Samra, a chief of department at the hospital, Al Jazeera reported.

The Israeli regime waged the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Strip-based Palestinian Resistance groups of Hamas and Islamic Jihad carried out the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm into the occupied territories in response to the occupying regime’s intensified crimes against the Palestinian people.

More than 14,532 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, including at least 6,000 children and 3,920 women.

Since October 7, the Israeli occupation has also claimed the lives of more than 200 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
