Israeli troops have raided a series of hospitals and shelters in the north, detaining men in a search for militants and expelling others taking refuge there. Israel has killed hundreds of Hamas militants there and detained another 500 suspected militants, according to a statement from division commander Brig. The war began after Hamas and other militants killed some 1,200 people in Israel, mostly civilians, and abducted 240 others. Israeli troops seized northern Gaza’s Al Awda hospital on Sunday after besieging it for 12 days, the international aid group Doctors Without Borders said Tuesday. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military about the hospital raids.
