A medical intern claims she was sexually harassed by a Gazan patient in Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon.

According to Kan Media, the intern left the room abruptly after the patient stroked her hair and face. She informed her colleagues about the incident, leading to police involvement.

Before the arrival of law enforcement, the patient was isolated from other patients and medical center staff.

The patient in question had been admitted to the hospital from the Gaza Strip a few days prior, as reported by Kan.
