GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) In the midst of catastrophic humanitarian suffering for more than two million Palestinians — half of them children, the Israeli occupation army continued, for the 413th consecutive day, to pound and target different areas and massacre more civilians in the Gaza Strip, especially in the northern areas.
Reporters for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said on Friday that the Israeli occupation army carried out attacks on several homes, civilian targets and shelter centers in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours, killing and injuring dozens of citizens.
The Israeli army’s large-scale genocidal campaign in northern Gaza, especially in Jabalia and Beit Lahia, has entered day 49, where its forces continue to intensively bomb homes and shelters and attack civilians while imposing a tight siege on the entire area.
Deliberate Israeli attacks on ambulance and civil defense workers already deprived northern Gaza of any rescue services.
The Israeli helicopters opened machine gun fire towards the eastern areas of Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli aircraft also attacked Block 12, east of Al-Bureij camp, central Gaza Strip.
Three Palestinian were killed, including a mother and her child, while the father was injured, in an Israeli bombardment of their displacement tent in Mawasi Khan Yunis.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Red Crescent announced the recovery of two bodies out of seven who were targeted yesterday near the Beauty Plus Hall in Rafah city.
At least two Palestinians were killed and others were injured last night when Israeli aircraft bombed the Al-Dayah family home in the Al-Sabra neighborhood south of Gaza City.
The Israeli warplanes also opened fire at the remaining houses in Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip, without reporting any injuries.
In the central Gaza Strip, five citizens were killed and others were injured in an Israeli bombing of the Al-Hoor family house in the area of Camp (5) north of Al-Nuseirat.
In the southern Gaza Strip, local sources said that the Israeli forces blew up several houses south of Rafah.
On the other hand, Beit Lahiya’s Kamal Adwan Hospital was squarely targeted overnight, especially its emergency gate where a group of people were hit.
Once medics rushed to the hospital’s courtyard to reach the wounded, they were targeted by an Israeli quadcopter drone.
Witnesses said the drone dropped grenades, injuring six medical staff. One of them is described as in a critical condition.
The facility’s water tanks and oxygen station also suffered significant damage.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health strongly condemned the bombing of the Kamal Adwan Hospital which houses 80 patients, 8 of them in intensive care.
The Ministry reiterated its appeal to international and humanitarian institutions to provide protection for hospitals and health personnel in the Gaza Strip.
The Kamal Adwan Hospital has been under siege for several days, with a United Nations official noting earlier this week that the Israeli military blocked vehicles from delivering aid to Beit Lahia, where the hospital is located.
