Israeli troops block ambulances from reaching wounded and tear-gas hospital in occupied West Bank

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces killed an unarmed 17-year-old boy inside the Khalil Suleiman Hospital.  Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders, has witnessed Israeli soldiers blocking medical workers in ambulances carrying discharged patients home.  Drivers were forced to get out of their vehicles, strip down and kneel in the streets. 

MSF says it’s part of a pattern targeting healthcare workers in the West Bank since October 7th, which also has included shooting live fire and tear gas at hospitals, blocking emergency vehicles, and humiliating and harassing medical staff.
