The occupation forces committed 4 massacres in Gaza during the past 24 hours, resulting in the death of 52 Palestinians and the injury of 142 others. At the same time, the occupation continues to bomb Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip using Quadcopter aircraft.
During the past hours, the occupation forces killed 26 Palestinians and injured more than 60 others, in a bombing that targeted homes in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
The Israeli occupation forces also killed at least 10 Palestinians in continuous bombing targeting various areas in Gaza.
Five Palestinians were killed and others were injured in an Israeli bombing that targeted a residential apartment and a gathering of citizens in the cities of Deir al-Balah and Rafah in the central and southern Gaza Strip.
A medical source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital reported that two Palestinians were killed and others were injured when an Israeli reconnaissance plane bombed a residential apartment on Al-Nakhil Street in Deir Al-Balah camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Another medical source announced the arrival of 3 martyrs to the Gaza European Hospital in the south of the Strip as a result of being targeted by an Israeli reconnaissance plane while they were searching for flour east of Rafah.
Two Palestinians were also killed in an Israeli bombing that targeted a motorcycle east of the city of Rafah.
18 journalists were killed by the occupation during November
For its part, the Palestinian Community Center revealed – today, Saturday – that the Israeli army killed 18 journalists in the Gaza Strip, last November.
The Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms (MADA) monitored in a statement that, “The Israeli occupation committed 65 violations against journalists, in the West Bank and Gaza, during last November, including the killing of 18 journalists in the Gaza Strip alone.”
He stated that the violations “were distributed into 22 violations in the West Bank and 43 in Gaza.”
“MADA” indicated that “journalists were targeted with the aim of a media blackout, and to prevent the rest of them from completing their media mission, by conveying the horrific events and crimes taking place to the rest of the world.”
The center pointed out that “the occupation forces bombed the homes of 7 journalists in the Gaza Strip.”
Mada Center documented “17 cases of targeting to prevent coverage, of which 11 cases occurred in the Gaza Strip, and 6 in the West Bank.”
The center explained, “The number of journalist martyrs in the Gaza Strip has risen to 192, as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023.”
The occupation releases 18 Palestinians
On another level, the Israeli occupation authorities released, today, Saturday, 18 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, whom they had arrested since the ground invasion of the Strip on October 27, 2023.
The 18 freed prisoners were transferred to the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
Eyewitnesses reported that one of the liberated prisoners was injured in his left leg.
According to the testimonies of previously released detainees, the detainees were subjected to “beatings, torture, insults, and interrogation by the occupation army throughout the period of detention.”
The occupation army arrested thousands of Palestinians, including women and children, and health and civil defense workers, while a small number of them were later released, and the fate of the others remains unknown.
Bombing a hospital and ambulances
In this context, the Ministry of Health in Gaza published a video clip documenting the occupation targeting an ambulance with fire in the North Governorate, yesterday, Friday, where the army has been carrying out genocide and ethnic cleansing procedures since the fifth of last October.
The video clip, published by the Ministry, showed the ambulance being targeted by Israeli machine gun fire, where intense gunfire was heard. The video also documented the presence of the car driver inside it at the moment of the bombing.
The ministry said, “This video documents the moment the occupation army opened heavy fire on an ambulance in front of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, yesterday (Friday).”
Ambulance vehicles are rarely used in the North Governorate, as most of them are out of service due to repeated targeting, in addition to the scarcity of fuel, which makes it impossible to use what is left of them or what is being repaired (between one or two vehicles that move only in the vicinity of the hospital).
A medical source said that 4 members of the medical staff at Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip were injured as a result of gunfire from Israeli Quadcopter drones.
On Friday, the Israeli army withdrew from Kamal Adwan Hospital after an hours-long raid that included the arrest of staff and patients and forcing those present to leave.
The army also forced an Indonesian medical staff – the only one who was performing surgeries inside the hospital – to evacuate, as they were evacuated via an ambulance belonging to the Palestinian Red Society.
The storming of the hospital came after a bloody night in the town of Beit Lahia, following intense Israeli targeting of a number of inhabited homes, resulting in the killing of about 30 Palestinians, according to what Hamas reported in a statement.
With American support, Israel has been committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 150,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and the elderly, in one of the… The worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
Israel continues its massacres, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to end them immediately, and the orders of the International Court of Justice to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
