Hospitals, schools: IOF’s main target
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that the bodies of 73 martyrs and 99 wounded had arrived at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital during the past 24 hours.
Our correspondent in the Gaza Strip pointed out that putting Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital out of service means “inevitable death in the center of the Strip.”
Earlier today, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that it lacks information regarding the location of more than 600 patients and medical staff who were forced to leave Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
An Israeli drone opened fire in the direction of the courtyard of the European Hospital, southeast of Khan Younis, and occupation aircraft also bombed the buildings of the University College of Science and Technology, south of the city.
As for the southern Gaza Strip, two citizens were martyred and several others were injured in an Israeli bombardment of homes east of Khan Younis, while others were also martyred as a result of artillery shelling that targeted homes in al-Manara neighborhood, southeast of the city.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces surrounded five siblings from al-Astal family, the youngest of whom is one year old, at Kamal Nasser School in Khan Younis, after their mother was shot dead by an Israeli sniper.
The total number of martyrs in Khan Younis Governorate since dawn reached 30, the bodies of 5 of whom are still inside a school, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent.
The occupation also targeted a car west of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, resulting in one martyr and two injured, who arrived at the Kuwaiti Hospital.
