Heavy fighting breaks out when a shell hits the Gaza Hospital, killing twelve people.
As Israeli forces attempt to clear medical facilities where they claim Hamas militants seek refuge, the Health Ministry of Gaza, which is led by Hamas, reports that a shell struck a hospital’s second floor in northern Gaza, killing at least 12 people.
According to a medical professional and the Hamas-led Health Ministry, a shell struck a hospital’s second floor in northern Gaza, killing at least 12 people. Israeli forces are concentrating on clearing out medical institutions, which they claim are hiding places for Hamas terrorists.
Around the Indonesian Hospital, which has been housing thousands of patients and displacing locals for weeks, there has been intense violence.
The World Health Organization evacuated 31 preterm newborns from Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, the largest in the region, the day before the combat started. The patients were among more than 250 critically ill or injured patients who had been left behind after Israeli forces had invaded the facility.
Critics claim that Israel’s siege and continuous aerial bombing amount to collective punishment of the 2.3 million Palestinians living in the territory following Hamas’ October 7th incursion into southern Israel. Israel claims that Hamas uses civilians and hospitals as shields.
According to Palestinian health authorities, who do not distinguish between civilian and militant casualties, around 11,500 Palestinians have died since the start of the conflict, two-thirds of them women and minors. There are about 2,700 people listed as missing.
Approximately 240 individuals were kidnapped by extremists, and 1,200 people have died in Israel; the majority of them perished during the strike on October 7.
