Israeli raids on various areas in the Gaza Strip resulted in martyrs and wounded, and the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital was injured as a result of a bombing that targeted the hospital. This coincided with a displacement movement from the Shujaiya neighborhood and new resistance operations in various axes in the Strip.
Medical sources reported that about 40 people were killed in Israeli raids on several areas in the Gaza Strip since dawn on Saturday. The raids targeted residential areas in Gaza City and the Nuseirat and Khan Yunis camps in the southern Gaza Strip.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that 4 people were killed, including two children, as a result of a bombing that targeted a house in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. Civil defense crews and ambulances rushed to the area to recover the bodies of the martyrs and transport the injured to hospitals.
The reporter added that an Israeli drone bombed a tent for displaced people in the Maghazi camp in the middle of the Gaza Strip, resulting in one death and three wounded.
Two children were also killed as a result of an Israeli bombing that targeted a house in the Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Hundreds were forced to forcibly flee from the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, towards other areas in the south and center, for fear of being targeted and killed.
The displacement movement came after the Israeli army asked the neighborhood’s residents to evacuate before attacking it, considering it a dangerous combat zone.
Abu Safiya was injured
On the other hand, Hossam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Hussam Abu Safiya, was injured in his left thigh as a result of an Israeli bombing that targeted the hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.
The bombing carried out by an occupation drone targeted the oxygen station in Kamal Adwan Hospital, amid fears that the hospital would catch fire after an oxygen leak.
The injury raised concerns about Abu Safiya’s health condition due to the shortage of doctors and damage to medical equipment and devices in the hospital, which is one of three barely functioning medical facilities on the northern end of the Gaza Strip.
Abu Safiya is considered one of the prominent figures in the health field in Gaza, as he leads medical teams to provide health care to the residents of the Strip.
The attack coincided with the occupation forces continuing their incursion and bombing of the northern outskirts of the Strip, in their main attack that they have been launching since early last month.
The Israeli army says that its operations in northern Gaza aim to prevent resistance elements from launching attacks and reorganizing their ranks. Palestinian residents expressed their fear that the goal is to permanently evacuate part of the Strip and turn it into a buffer zone.
Resistance operations
On the other hand, the Al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) – announced the implementation of a complex operation during which its fighters targeted an Israeli engineering infantry force of 5 soldiers with an anti-personnel missile that directly hit them. Al-Qassam fighters also targeted a troop carrier with an “Al-Yassin 105” missile and observed helicopters landing. For evacuation, near the Burj Awad junction in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
The Al-Qassam Brigades also announced that it bombed the Ra’im military base on the Gaza Strip with a number of short-range “Rajum” missiles.
In the north, Al-Qassam announced that it had targeted a “Nimr” troop carrier with a “Shawaz” device on Martyr Ahmed Yassin Street in the Al-Saftawi area. It also broadcast pictures of its fighters targeting a house in the area in which an Israeli force had barricaded itself.
For its part, the Israeli army announced the interception of two rockets fired from Gaza towards the Third Eye and Kissufim settlements in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Army Radio said that the two missiles were fired from Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Army Radio added that the area from which the two missiles were fired has not been where the Israeli army has been active on the ground since last August.
