Israeli riot police have fired tear gas and stormed the Al-Makassed hospital in East Jerusalem where injured Palestinian protesters were being treated in the hospital's intensive care unit.
The hospital released a statement this morning urging international organisations to protect the medical facility after armed Israeli police entered the medical facility yesterday evening.
According to MEE's Lubna Masarwa, Israeli forces had forced their way into the hospital and asked employees to leave the facility. Witnesses told MEE that the Israeli police had asked patients to leave the hospital and that they were looking for individuals wounded in the clashes.
