Israel-Gaza-Lebanon updates: Rabbi missing in UAE found dead, Israel says

The director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza was injured in an Israeli bombing of the hospital Saturday night, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health.

Earlier in the evening, Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya reported that a drone had bombed a fuel tank of the hospital, which is located in Beit Lahia.

Staff at the hospital were also injured in an Israeli bombing in the overnight hours into Saturday, leaving a dozen wounded.

The hospital has been subject to continued attacks in the seven weeks since the Israel Defense Forces began its North Gaza operation. Last month, the IDF raided the hospital, arresting nearly all male staff and forcing patients and civilians to leave.

The IDF has not commented on attacks on Kamal Adwan Hospital in recent days.

Hamas has released a statement announcing that a female hostage being held in Gaza was killed in recent weeks, and a second hostage was injured.

The statement says Hamas has only just been able to make contact with the fighters holding these hostages after contact was "interrupted for weeks" in northern Gaza. The statement says the life of the injured hostage is "still in danger."

The statement does not elaborate on how the other hostage was killed.

The IDF said in a statement they are "examining the information" but that as of now "cannot confirm or refute" it.

There are only 12 women hostages left in Gaza, three of whom were already confirmed to have been killed. Only one American woman was still being held and has been confirmed dead.

Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza remains under siege by Israeli forces, with a dozen people wounded in the latest attack, the facility's director said Saturday morning.

"The occupation forces targeted the hospital with drone bombs and bullets from yesterday afternoon until midnight," Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya said in a statement. "The bombing directly and repeatedly targeted the entrance to the reception and emergency departments, the courtyards, the electricity generators, and the hospital gates.”

At least 12 people were injured, including “a doctor, a nurse, and an administrator who were inside the reception and emergency department,” according to Safiya. The bombing "disabled the electric generator, the oxygen and water network, and terrified the injured and sick children and women," the hospital director said.

Kamal Aswan Hospital in the city of Beit Lahia, just north of Jabalia, currently houses 86 injured patients, including eight people in intensive care on ventilators and 13 children receiving treatment, according to Safiya.

"We receive cases of malnutrition of children on a regular basis," he added. "We call on the world to intervene urgently to bring in medical and surgical delegations, medical supplies and ambulances."

Israeli air and ground forces have been continuously raiding multiple areas in northern Gaza for weeks, leaving about 2,300 people dead or missing, according to a spokesperson for Gaza’s Civil Defense.

“The occupation is deliberately displacing citizens from the northern Gaza Strip," the spokesperson said in a statement Saturday. "Running out of fuel is a major dilemma facing our crews and hindering the crews from arriving."

Rescue efforts were underway after Israeli airstrikes targeted central Beirut on Saturday morning, killing at least 15 people, Lebanese authorities said.

The powerful strikes occurred at around 4 a.m. local time, destroying an eight-story residential building in the densely populated Basta neighborhood in the heart of Lebanon's capital. So far, emergency responders have pulled 23 people alive but wounded from the rubble as well as the lifeless bodies of others, according to the Lebanese Civil Defense, which noted that the casualty count was provisional as search and rescue operations were still underway as of 10:30 a.m. local time.

ABC News has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces for comment on the strikes.

It’s the fourth round of Israeli strikes to hit Beirut in less than a week, shaking the city as the Israeli military presses its offensive against the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The escalation comes on the heels of U.S. special envoy Amos Hochstein's trip to the region earlier this week in an attempt to clinch a cease-fire deal to end the more than 13 months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, which has erupted into full-on war in the past two months with Israeli ground troops invading southern Lebanon as warplanes bomb Hezbollah strongholds in both the south and in the capital.
