THE Israeli military was accused of targeting civilians after it detained dozens of Palestinians in a raid on a hospital in northern Gaza over the weekend.

Today Israeli war planes continued their attack on the southern Lebanese port city of Tyre while Egypt led moves towards a temporary ceasefire in the fighting in Gaza and Lebanon. 

Israeli forces raided Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahiya on Friday, detaining 44 male staff, according to the World Health Organisation. Palestinian medical officials said the hospital, which was treating some 200 patients, was heavily damaged in the raid.
