Israeli authorities continue storming hospitals, worship places and education centers of area A, in a flagrant violation of international law, Palestine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Saturday.

A group of armed settlers raided Hebron city and arrested five youths amid heavy gunfire, the ministry added in a statement.

Besides arresting the youths, the armed group destroyed the emergency door of Hebron public hospital.

The attack is not the first by the Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinian hospitals, the ministry noted.

Denouncing in the strongest possible terms Israel's continuous attacks against area A, the ministry called on the international community and the UN chief to address these violations.
