Middle East latest: Israeli soldiers burn a hospital in Gaza

Israeli soldiers stormed and burned a hospital in isolated northern Gaza after forcibly removing staff and patients on Friday, Health Ministry officials said. The Israeli military said the hospital was being used by Hamas fighters as a base, although it did not provide evidence.

Gaza's Health Ministry said Israeli troops set fires in several parts of Kamal Adwan Hospital, including the lab and surgery department. Israel's military said there was only a small fire in an empty hospital building, and was unaware of any Israeli gunfire causing the blaze.

Meanwhile in Israel, an 83-year-old woman was fatally stabbed by a Palestinian from the West Bank, and police say the suspect was arrested.

Early Saturday, Israel's military said it intercepted a missile fired toward the country by Yemen's Houthi rebels, as sirens woke Israelis yet again. On Thursday, Israeli warplanes bombed key infrastructure in Yemen. The Houthis have also been attacking shipping in the Red Sea corridor — attacks they say won't stop until Israel agrees to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
