Israeli forces strike terror at al-Quds hospital
For a third day in a row, Israeli forces have raided an East al-Quds (Jerusalem) hospital that has refused to give them information on treated Palestinians.
Thursday saw the Israeli forces striking terror among the medical staff by using rubber-coated steel bullets, smoke grenades, and sound bombs against the compound of the al-Makassed Hospital in the East al-Quds neighborhood of al-Tur.
The staff where observing a sit-in at the time of the attack with the support of the International Committee of the Red Cross in protest at the move by the Israeli forces to try to obtain the medical files on the patients, who sustained injuries during clashes in the occupied Palestinian territories.
"It is not our job to give any information about anyone who comes to the hospital or to take any personal information. Our job is only to help them and provide them with medical treatment," the director general of the hospital, Rafis al-Hussieni, told the Palestinian Ma'an news agency.
Meanwhile, two Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces over alleged knife attacks in the city of al-Khalil (Hebron) in the south of the occupied West Bank.
Also on Thursday, Israeli settlers again stormed the compound of the al-Aqsa Mosque, which is the third holiest site in Islam after Masjid al-Haram in Mecca and Masjid al-Nabawi in Medina. The compound is also highly respected by the Jews and Christians.
The frequent raids together with Israel’s imposition of sweeping restrictions on entry into the compound since August 26 have prompted Palestinian protests.
Tel Aviv’s heavy crackdown on the demonstrations has claimed the lives of 67 Palestinians since the beginning of October.
