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 369th consecutive day, to pound and target different areas of the Gaza Strip and massacre more civilians.
Reporters for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said 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 forces continued for the fifth day their incursion into Jabalia and Beit Lahia, besieging Jabalia camp and launching dozens of air raids and artillery shelling.
At least nine members of the Farahat family were killed after an Israeli warplane targeted a residential apartment belonging to the family next to the Bastat market in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza.
Paramedics also pulled out the bodies of three martyrs, including a child, in addition to a number of wounded persons, following an Israeli attack on the Al-Jamal family house in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Explosions of artillery shelling were heard in various neighborhoods of Gaza City, coinciding with gunfire from Israeli drones in the Al-Tawam area northwest of the city.
The bodies of four martyrs, including a child, were pulled out from under the rubble of the Al-Khalidi family house in the Al-Bureij camp.
Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes continued to strike areas near Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, while local sources reported that the bodies of dozens of martyrs were lying in the streets of Jabalia camp, amid intensive artillery shelling and gunfire.
In an extremely dangerous development, Israeli army forces ordered the complete evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital, located in the Beit Lahia project, north of Gaza.
Kamal Adwan Hospital’s director, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, reported that he received a call from the occupation forces telling him that if he did not get the patients and medical staff out of the hospital within a day, they would be put in danger.
