Stephen Amell is going from the courtroom to the beach.

The *Suits LA* star has been cast in the series regular lead role of Hobie Buchannon in Fox and Fremantle's upcoming *Baywatch* reboot, which is slated to surf on to Fox as part of the 2026-2027 season.**

"From the first conversation, Stephen Amell brought exactly what this new chapter of *Baywatch* demands: heart, intensity, and that undeniable hero energy," executive producer and showrunner Matt Nix said in a statement. "He's the kind of lead who can sprint into danger, carry the emotional weight, and still make it feel fun. We're so excited to get started."**

In the reboot, the wild child from the original series (played by Jeremy Jackson from 1991-1999) is all grown up. He's now a Baywatch captain, following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Mitch (played by David Hasselhoff in the original). Hobie's world is turned upside down when Charlie, the daughter he never knew, shows up on his doorstep, eager to carry on the Buchannon family legacy and become a Baywatch lifeguard alongside her dad.**

The series is said to begin shooting this spring at Venice Beach in Los Angeles, as well as on the Fox Studio Lot in Century City. Additional casting details are not known at this time.**

The original *Baywatch*, which first debuted in 1989, would eventually become the most-watched show in the world, airing in over 200 countries, and at its peak, reaching more than a billion viewers every week. The beachy series starred Hasselhoff as Mitch, the dedicated leader of a group of lifeguards at Malibu Beach. In addition to the Hoff, the show helped launch the careers of international superstars from Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra to Jason Momoa and Yasmine Bleeth.

Carmen Electra will join 'Baywatch' reboot, but has 1 major condition

1997 Carmen Electra Stars As Lifeguard Lani Mckensie On The Hit Television Series, "Baywatch."

Per a release, "The new series will celebrate the franchise's enduring legacy, while re-energizing it for today's global audience. Fans can expect all the adrenaline-fueled rescues, tangled relationships, complicated chemistry and beachside heroics that defined the original — now with an entirely new cast, contemporary trappings, tensions and challenges, and a renewed mission to protect Southern California's shoreline."

It's not known yet if Anderson or Hasselhoff or other familiar faces will have a part to play in the upcoming reboot, but if asked, Electra has previously said she'd be interested.

"It could be fun" to join the cast of the reboot, which she said she's currently in talks over, Electra told *TMZ* last year. But she does have one stipulation: "I don't know if I'd want to be in the water."**

"It's the ocean, you know?" Electra said, explaining, "I love being around the ocean. Working in it is very different. When you're working in the ocean, it is very complicated."**

*Baywatch* is co-produced by Fox Entertainment and Fremantle with Nix (*Burn Notice*, *The* *Gifted*) serving as showrunner and executive producer alongside executive producers McG, Michael Berk, Greg Bonann, Doug Schwartz, Dante Di Loreto, and Mike Horowitz. McG will direct the series premiere episode.**

The most essential war documentaries on HBO Max. Credit:

If you don't know your past, you don't know your future. It's a cliche, but it's true. Here's another one: history repeats itself. The best way to educate yourself about world affairs and their domestic impact is to investigate previous conflicts, their causes, and their legacies. While nothing beats reading a thick book (and a local library is the best route) those with limited time can always turn to documentary films.

Luckily, ** is here to help you further your history education with the best war documentaries on HBO Max.

The premium cable network has been home to some of the most important and thought-provoking documentaries ever produced, and its streaming service is brimming with options. Here are a few titles to get you started.

December 7th (1943)

December 7th (film)

The U.S. government recruited Hollywood icons to make 'December 7th'.

Office of War Information

This Oscar-winning film blurs the lines of a typical documentary, but is nonetheless an important work. Developed by U.S. government agencies as a propaganda tool and directed by John Ford (you may remember him from *The Fabelmans*) and Gregg Toland (cinematographer of *Citizen Kane*, among others), this exploration of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor incorporates what little actual footage existed mixed with recreations and miniatures filmed in a Hollywood studio.

Though scripted and featuring actors like Walter Huston as the avatar "Uncle Sam," the news aspect makes it significant. Multiple versions exist; the 32-minute release cut served audiences who felt the need to see the events up close, and to rally the homefront for the fight ahead.

For All Mankind (1989)

For All Mankind (1989)

The Cold War paves the way for a touchstone human achievement in 'For All Mankind'.

Apollo Associates

A literally uplifting look at NASA's voyage to the moon, *For All Mankind *qualifies as a war documentary in that Neil Armstrong taking "one giant leap" never would have happened were it not for the ongoing Cold War. But let's not let that trouble us. Al Reinert's masterpiece of collage takes preexisting footage from multiple space adventures and shows the moon landing in an impressionistic style. Thousands of people made it possible, so individual faces and names are less important than the forward thrust.

Though the original score by Brian Eno, Roger Eno, and Daniel Lanois has been repurposed so many times, new viewers may be surprised to learn its origins. This is an inspiring film, and one of the best examples of real life adventure.

The 15 best war movies streaming on HBO Max right now

Humphrey Bogart and Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman on the set of Casablanca, directed by Michael Curtiz; WAR AND PEACE, (aka VOYNA I MIR), Vladislav Strzhelchik as Napoleon, 1966; THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN, Laurence Fishburne, 1995

Hollywood History: How World War II forced the Academy to rethink the 1942 Oscars

1942 Oscars

George Stevens: D-Day to Berlin (1994)

George Stevens: D-Day to Berlin

A-list director George Stevens captured the most comprehensive color footage of World War II in Europe.

Already an established director with films like *Woman of the Year *(1942) and *Gunga Din *(1939), George Stevens joined the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1943 and assembled a crew known as the "Stevens Irregulars." They shot some of the most important footage of World War II, including images from the D-Day landing, the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp, the meeting of American and Russian forces, and images of Berlin in ruins.

It wasn't until after Stevens' death (and a post-war career including *Giant *and *Shane*) that his cache of unseen color film from this period was discovered — the most comprehensive color film of the war in Europe. This documentary, framed by George Stevens Jr., is a remarkable reflection of that period.

Ghosts of Abu Ghraib (2007)

GHOSTS OF ABU GHRAIB

A corridor at Abu Ghraib during the Iraq War.

This frank look at the prisoner abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib during the Iraq War, directed by Rory Kennedy (RFK Jr's sister), does its best to explain how an absurd environment can enable otherwise ordinary soldiers to become torturers. In interviewing military officials and psychologists, *Ghosts of Abu Ghraib* dismisses theories of bad seeds or bad apples, and shows how obedience to authority can quickly erode a person's moral compass. Think it couldn't happen to you? Stanley Milgram's experiments — footage of which is shown here — have shown how malleable people often are.

Most striking are interviews with military police reflecting back with horror on their own actions, expressing remorse at the past and frustration with who got left with the blame.

Guerras Ajenas (2016)

Guerras Ajenas

'Guerras Ajenas' focuses on a small narrative within the larger War on Drugs.

*Guerras Ajenas *(*Wars of Others*) looks at a tiny aspect of the so-called "War on Drugs" to expose how whole communities can get swept up in wider political currents.

For years the government of Colombia, at the behest of the United States, has been spraying a dangerous chemical called glyphosate from airplanes with an aim toward killing coca crops and disrupting the drug trade. In 2015, the World Health Organization declared that glyphosate was a likely carcinogen. As you can imagine, powerful forces have worked to obfuscate this fact, while innocent people suffer. Lilia Luciano's documentary examines the issue from the ground up.

Hearts and Minds (1974)

HEARTS AND MINDS

Father and child during the 1968 Tet Offensive.

Courtesy Everett

This concise documentary quickly became a flashpoint in America upon its release, exposing just how unwinnable (not to mention unjust) the ongoing quagmire in Vietnam had become. The film mixes interview footage of American infantrymen (some of whom had become drug addicts) as well as a notorious interview with General William Westmoreland, who infamously concluded: "The Oriental doesn't put the same high price on life as does the Westerner."

This statement, juxtaposed with footage of grieving Vietnamese at a funeral, remains one of the darkest and lowest moments of American history.

Jim: The James Foley Story (2016)

Jim: The James Foley Story

James Foley was an American freelance videojournalist who was compelled to go into harm's way to expose atrocities. In 2011 he was kidnapped while shooting footage in Libya but was released 44 days later. Then in 2012, while working on assignment in Syria for French and American outlets, he was captured by ISIS — then later decapitated in a video message to President Obama.

That video is thankfully *not *shown in this film, but what you do see is a portrait of the man as told by his loved ones and fellow prisoners. Most insightful, perhaps, is learning how an ordinary family reacts when they suddenly become the focus of an international news story.

Night and Fog (1956)

NIGHT AND FOG

Legendary filmmaker Alain Resnais made one of the definitive cinematic statements on the Holocaust.

Courtesy Everett

Can a historical film actually be history itself? Alain Resnais' short, stylistic project was one of the first major films to address the Holocaust. It uses some archival (often gruesome) footage, but is more notable for its contemporary imagery — a camera eye roving through abandoned Nazi extermination camps juxtaposed with voiceover narration.

The film was revelatory upon its release, and controversial in its native country for not sugarcoating collaborationist French efforts. Indeed, the film could only be originally released if Resnais agreed to alter some shots to obscure someone in a French police uniform observing mass deportations.

Wartorn: 1861–2010 (2010)

James Gandolfini with Gen. Raymond T. Odierno in the HBO Documentary "Wartorn: 1861-2010"

James Gandolfini speaks with Gen. Raymond T. Odierno in 'Wartorn: 1861-2010'.

Though not exactly an easy film to watch, *Wartorn: 1861–2010* is an insightful look at what we now call post-traumatic stress disorder, but used to call battle fatigue or shell shock. Co-produced by James Gandolfini, who also leads the interviews, this is partly a history lesson, but also an examination of more recent struggles.

Iraq veterans suffering from PTSD bravely reveal how routine activities like supermarket shopping can become mental torture. Conversations with family members of those who survived their tour, only to die by suicide at home, are even more heartbreaking.

White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (2007)

White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

'White Light/Black Rain' features interviews with several Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors.

It's fair to say the use of atomic weapons to end World War II remains one of the most significant "turn the page" events in human history. This Emmy-winning film boasts contemporary interviews with over a dozen survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, most of whom were children at the time.

Also included are some airmen who flew the *Enola Gay*, as well as Los Alamos scientists. The enormity of what they witnessed is not lost on them, but director Steven Okazaki recognizes it's through detail and specificity that we arrive at a wider truth. In a world where current weapons of mass destruction make the bombs dropped on Japan look like Nerf toys, there are not many films more important than this.

Ego Nwodim is the first to admit that she's no cinephile.

The *Saturday Night Live* alum is currently gearing up to host Sunday night's Film Indie Spirit Awards — but just because she's hosting the movie-centric ceremony, doesn't mean she's an expert. The live audience of *Jimmy Kimmel Live *learned as much on Tuesday evening, when Nwodim confessed that she still hasn't seen a number of classic and long-heralded titles. It's so bad that one *SNL* host called her out within minutes of them meeting.

"Josh Brolin sized me up within an instant and said, 'You look like you've never seen any movies before,'" Nwodim told Kimmel during the Feb. 10 interview. "To this day, I've lost sleep over it because I'm like, 'What about me says I haven't seen movies?'"

When Kimmel asked if Brolin's assumption was correct, Nwodim admitted, "Josh was right."

For his part, Brolin took the backstage exchange so seriously that he sent the comedian a curated list of "53 movies that everyone needs to have watched." But to date, Nwodim has still only seen one title on the list — Steven Spielberg's 1975 classic thriller, *Jaws*.

"Was there one on the list that people would get actually angry at you because you haven't seen?" Kimmel asked

After a thoughtful moment, Nwodim admitted, "I'm mad about this myself: I haven't seen *[The] Godfather*."

Nwodim's response was swiftly met with a wave of gasps and audible distress from Kimmel's live audience — including one attendee who shouted, "What?!"

Raising her hands in defense, Nwodim said, "Oh, come on! I thought this was a safe space. Everyone backstage said this would be a safe space."

While the audience didn't take too kindly to her ignorance of the Corleone family, Kimmel admitted that he was jealous of Nwodim.

"I would love to be able to see *The Godfather* and* The Godfather 2* — and skip the next one — for the first time again," he joked.

After clarifying that she does intend to check out the venerated Francis Ford Coppola-directed titles, Nwodim attempted to appeal to the audience, noting, "I've seen *Scarface*, does that count?"

This time, even Kimmel shut her down, answering with a firm, "No."

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter.***

While Nwodim still has many classics to catch up with — she cited *12 Angry Men, Dog Day Afternoon*, and Federico Fellini's highly influential *8½* among the titles she has yet to see — the *SNL* alum noted that she has already watched a huge chunk of the movies that are up for awards on Sunday night.

"I watched the films, [and] I'm super excited," Nwodim said of the impending event, whose contenders include *If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, One of Them Days, *and* Train Dreams.*

The Film Independent Spirit Awards stream on Sunday, Feb. 15 at 5 p.m. ET on YouTube. Watch Nwodim defend her cinematic knowledge above.**

DETROIT (AP) — Valentine's Day dinner at White Castle with candles, attentive wait staff and white tablecloths was a treasured experience for Krystal Gray and her mother, Cornelia Murphy.

This year, Gray will bring along a photo of her mother, who died last spring at age 80, and place it on the table she has still reserved at one of the fast-food chain restaurants in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale.

"It wouldn't be the same without her," Gray said. "I wanted something to make me feel better about her not physically being able to come."

For 35 years, White Castle has invited lovers, loved ones and the soon-to-be in love to have an intimate meal at its restaurants. This year the 325 White Castles with a dining room in the U.S. are taking part in the promotion, according to Jamie Richardson, chief marketing officer of the Columbus, Ohio-based restaurant chain.

"That one day White Castle becomes love castle," Richardson said. "It's something our customers look forward to. Many are repeat visitors on Valentine's Day."

"Quirky" promotion finds fans

The promotion started in 1991 and was only offered at White Castles in St. Louis and Minneapolis. Richardson said the goal was to offer "something kind of fun and quirky and see if anyone wants to come out have a fancy Valentine's Day dinner at White Castle."

Each participating eatery is given a budget for decorations which can include red balloons, garland and flowers. Reservations are required and opened in early January. About 32,000 people celebrated Valentine's Day dinner at a White Castle in 2025. Richardson says they are on target for more than 35,000 this year.

"Some people show up in limousines," he said. "We'll have people dress like it's their wedding. We had over 200 White Castle weddings over the years."

Sliders and memorable moments

There's just something about the thin slice of steam-grilled beef, slathered in mustard and ketchup with diced onions, cheese and a pickle slice on a dinner roll that many can't resist. Crinkle-cut French fries and a soft drink typically fill out orders. The onion chips and chicken rings also are popular.

"It's all the ambiance, all the love and all the great memories for a fraction of the price," Richardson said. "For a couple, if they are really splurging, it's right around $20, or $25 if you're getting dessert on a stick."

Ann Tubbs, district supervisor of nine "Castles" in the Detroit and mid-Michigan areas, said customers tell her that the affordable cost helps but people keep coming because of the tradition and memories.

"I've had a couple who announced their pregnancy," Tubbs said. "We've had people come in with their children just to make those moments, and others who have gotten engaged."

Amy Richardson, 41, of Lincoln Park near Detroit, makes sure that she, her three children and her significant other also dress the part, wearing something pink or red and at times matching each other.

She said she has spent Valentine's Day at a White Castle every year since 2012.

"I had just gotten into a new relationship and I had a 3-year-old daughter," she said of the first time. "We wanted to make it somewhere kid-friendly. All three of us packed up and went out on our date."

The couple has since added two younger children and spend about $30 on their Valentine's Day meals for a family of five.

"We usually get the sliders and the chicken rings and the mozzarella cheese sticks," Amy Richardson added. "It's more of a nostalgia thing. It may be fancied up, but it's not a fancy restaurant where people frown on you bringing a young child or children."

Waffle House, another national restaurant chain, also will mark its 18th year of offering a special themed dinner on Valentine's Day. This was the first year online reservations were taken and many of the 218 Waffle House locations taking part were booked by the end of last week, according to spokesperson Kelly Bruner.

Carrying on a family tradition

Gray has made Valentine's Day at White Castle sort of a tradition, having done it about 10 times. Gray will be among 14 fans inducted in May into the White Castle "Craver's Hall of Fame." They were selected after submitting their White Castle stories.

This year, she also will share the day with her two young daughters as a tribute to her mother's memory.

"I just like the simplicity of it all — sit there and spend time with each other," she said. "Sometimes, we can do too much and it goes overboard to the point where you can't really enjoy it — spending so much money."

Spoiler alert! We're discussing major details about the ending of "Wuthering Heights" (in theaters now). Stop reading now if you haven't seen it yet and don't want to know.

If you just saw Emerald Fennell's kinky, candy-colored take on "Wuthering Heights," you only got half the story.

Clocking in at just over 400 pages, Emily Brontë's original novel is a decades-spanning epic charting the tempestuous romance between Catherine (Margot Robbie) and Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi), and how the next generation of children heals from passed-down trauma.

But the couple's descendants don't appear in Fennell's "Wuthering Heights." In fact, the movie ends roughly midway through Brontë's book with Catherine's death.

Emerald Fennell, left, and Margot Robbie behind the scenes of "Wuthering Heights."

"It's such a dense, complicated piece of work," Fennell says. Adapting it was always "going to be really difficult. I had to kill a lot of my own darlings in order to make the story work in two hours."

Here's how Fennell changed the story's ending – and whether the door remains open for a potential sequel:

How does the 'Wuthering Heights' 2026 movie end?

"Wuthering Heights" author Emily Brontë, left, has a new adaptation of her iconic Gothic novel starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.

In Brontë's novel, Catherine dies hours after her daughter, Cathy, is born prematurely. Cathy is raised by her father, Edgar, and goes on to marry Heathcliff's sickly son, Linton, who dies shortly after their wedding.

Meanwhile, Cathy has a contentious relationship with her cousin, Hareton, who was taken in by the abusive Heathcliff after his parents' deaths. Heathcliff taught Hareton his brutal ways, but through his unlikely courtship of the widowed Cathy, Hareton softens and aspires to be better. The young couple ultimately gets married, and the ghosts of the elder Catherine and Heathcliff later haunt the English moors surrounding their palatial estate.

In Fennell's movie, the infant Cathy is never born. The film ends with Catherine suffering from sepsis and having an apparent miscarriage, bleeding out in her bed. Heathcliff arrives too late to say goodbye, and tearfully cradles her dead body as a montage of their passionate romance flashes across the screen.

1 / 36'Wuthering Heights' premiere looks from Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi

Drive us mad with your "Wuthering Heights" fashion looks, Margot and Jacob ... The stars of the upcoming Emerald Fennell adaptation of Emily Brontë's 1847 gothic novel have fans swooning over red carpet looks and press tour interactions. Margot Robbie, who plays Catherine Earnshaw, and Jacob Elordi, who portrays Heathcliff, stepped out in Los Angeles this week to promote the film, out in theaters on Feb. 13, 2026.

Given that Catherine never gives birth in the film, Fennell nixes the possibility of exploring the next generation in a second movie.

"I think of this as a one-off, and I'm not alone in that when you look at other adaptations," Fennell says. A 1992 film starring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche dared to adapt the entire book, although most "Wuthering Heights" movies only cover the first half, including the 1939 classic with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon.

"There's a world where this is a miniseries and you really get into deep, deep detail of every single thing that happens," Fennell says. "But for me, the thing I connected to as a reader was always (Catherine and Heathcliff). I also don't know if I'd be very good at sequels!"

Whoopi Goldberg was not in the mood on Thursday, Feb. 12, as her co-hosts on The View got into a heated debate over an Olympics hot topic

Goldberg jokingly threatened to leave the table, and she was even encouraged by co-host Joy Behar to "take a nap" to avoid the discussion

"Stay with us, Whoopi. Stay with us," Ana Navarro said, trying to keep her co-host engaged

The internet can't get enough of Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Lægreid and his viral cheating confession, but Whoopi Goldberg is not interested.

On the Thursday, Feb. 12 episode of The View, the co-hosts discussed Lægreid's confession during a Tuesday, Feb. 10 press conference, where he admitted that he'd cheated on his girlfriend during a live interview after winning the bronze medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

He called his ex "the love of my life" in the interview, according to a translation provided by E! News, but said he'd "made the biggest mistake of my life and was unfaithful" and had come clean about it and they'd broken up.

The next day, Lægreid issued an apology to both his ex-girlfriend and his teammate, Johan-Olav Botn, who had won gold but was overshadowed by the cheating confession. He said he "deeply regret[s]" taking the attention away from Botn and for thrusting his ex into the spotlight.

On The View, Goldberg, 70, said she was "confused by all of this" as the panel began discussing the drama.

"The main thing, Whoopi, is — he's with the girl six months, and he's cheating on her already," Joy Behar explained, before trying to offer a scientific explanation to explain the athlete's infidelity. "Tell us, doctor," Goldberg encouraged.

'The View' on Feb. 12, 2026

"I'm quoting the great anthropologist, Helen Fisher. She says that the first two years of a relationship, you're hot hot for each other because the biological imperative, so you can reproduce and continue with the species," Behar, 83, said. "So if you are already cheating at six months, that is biology telling you it's off, it's wrong."

Sara Haines then jumped in, and Goldberg put her head in her hands on the table. As Haines explained that she thinks Lægreid cheated because he wasn't yet invested in his girlfriend, it became clear that Goldberg had lost interest.

"Stay with us, Whoopi. Stay with us," Ana Navarro said.

Sunny Hostin jumped in next, and declared that the athlete "loves" his ex, as Goldberg tried to get up from the table entirely, and then said "I'm out" to someone off-camera, as she continued to attempt to get up from her chair.

"Whoopi, you're excused," Behar told her, noticing her decreasing interest. Goldberg slouched over the table, and Behar said, "Whoopi, you're excused from this conversation. Take a nap."

"Please, yes," Goldberg said, and then she cut the conversation off for good.

"You know what? I'll get this all straightened out. We'll be right back," she told the audience, signaling a commercial break and ending the debate.

The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Aid group Doctors Without Borders announced the suspension of some of its operations at one of the largest functioning hospitals in Gaza after patients and staff reported seeing armed, masked men roaming parts of the medical facility.

Nasser Hospital, in Khan Younis city, is one of the few functioning hospitals left in the strip. Hundreds of patients and war-wounded have been treated there and the facility was a hub for Palestinian prisoners Israel released in exchange of Israeli hostages as part of the ceasefire deal.

Doctors Without Borders, known by its acronym MSF, said in a statement all its non-critical medical operations at Nasser Hospital were suspended due to "security breaches" that posed "serious security threats to our teams and patients".

While the suspension occurred in January, MSF's comments in the"frequently asked questions" section on its website were the first to disclose its decision. It's unclear when the post was made, but MSF's site said it was Feb. 11. The comments were a rare public announcement by an international organization about the presence of armed men in or near medical facilities since the war began over two years ago.

MSF said it made the difficult decision after an uptick of patients and staff seeing armed men in parts of the hospital compound since the U.S.-brokered October ceasefire was reached. The gunmen were seen in areas the medical aid group didn't operate.

"MSF teams have reported a pattern of unacceptable acts including the presence of armed men, intimidation, arbitrary arrests of patients and a recent situation of suspicion of movement of weapons," said the statement.

It's unclear who the armed men are. MSF said it was unable to specify.

Attacks on health facilities

Armed groups have mushroomed across Gaza as a result of the war, including groups backed by Israel's army in the Israeli-controlled part of the strip. Nasser Hospital staff says that in recent months it's repeatedly been attacked by armed tribesmen and militias, despite police presence there.

The group said it had expressed its concern to the relevant authorities, stressing that hospitals must remain neutral, civilian spaces. It said its concerns were also heightened by previous and deliberate Israeli attacks on health facilities during the war.

Throughout the war, Israel has struck hospitals on repeated occasions, including Nasser, accusing Hamas of operating in or around them. Hamas security men have also often been seen inside hospitals, blocking access to some areas of the facilities.

Some hostages that were released from Gaza have said that they've spent time during their captivity in a hospital.

Police to be deployed

The Hamas-run interior ministry, which oversees the police force in Gaza, said Saturday police would be deployed to secure hospitals and rid them of armed presence. It said it would take legal action against violators and was in the process of implementing stricter measures to ensure patients' safety.

While international law gives hospitals special protections during war, they can lose this immunity if combatants use them to hide fighters or store weapons, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross. Still, there has to be plenty of warning to allow the evacuation of staff and patients before any operations take place. If harm to civilians from an attack is disproportionate to the military objective, it is illegal under international law.

Aid groups and rights organizations say Israel has decimated Gaza's health system, forcing most of its hospitals to shut down while heavily damaging others. During the war, Israeli forces raided a number of hospitals and struck others, detaining hundreds of staff.

Impact on depleted medical system

MSF said that until further notice, it will continue supporting critical services at Nasser Hospital, including inpatient and surgical departments for patients with traumatic or burn injuries. However, it's ending support to the paediatrics and maternity wards, including the neonatal intensive care unit. It's also indefinitely suspended its outpatient consultations for 3D burn screening and mental health, as well as other services.

Zaher al-Waheidi, head of the records department at the health ministry, said MSF's suspension would have a significant impact as hundreds of patients are admitted to the maternity and burn wards daily. He said the Ministry of Health would take over maternity patient care, but said burn victims won't have many options.

Israel has been cracking down on aid groups operating in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, including MSF. The group is one of more than three dozen aid groups that Israel has banned from operating in the strip for failing to comply with new registration rules.

MSF says Israel's decision will have a catastrophic impact on its work in Gaza, where it provides funding and international staff for six hospitals as well as running two field hospitals and eight primary health centers, clinics and medical points. It also runs two of Gaza's five stabilization centers, helping children with severe malnutrition.
