Hospitals and medical staff said Israel killed 103 people on strike in the Gaza Strip for at least one night to Sunday and prompted the closure of major hospitals in northern Gaza as Israel exacerbated the war in more than 19 months of war and showed no signs of relief.
According to Nasser Hospital, more than 48 people were killed in air strikes in and around the southern city of Khan Younis, some of whom attacked houses and tents to shelter displaced people. Hospital spokesman Weam Fares said 18 children and 13 women were among the dead.
A strike on a house in the built Jabaliya refugee camp killed nine people in a family in northern Gaza, according to the Ministry of Emergency Services of the Ministry of Health. Another strike on family residence was also caused in Jabaliya, which included seven children and one woman, according to civil defense, operated under the leadership of the government run by Hamas.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the overnight strike. Israel blames civilian casualties in its operations against Hamas as militant organizations operate in civilian areas.
Bloodshots emerged when Israel intensified the war in Gaza with a new attack called “Kidion's Chariot”, which Israel said it plans to occupy territory, place thousands of Palestinians in the southern part of Gaza and give greater control over the distribution of aid.
Israel said the new plan aims to increase pressure on the radical Hamas group, agreeing to a temporary ceasefire under Israel's terms that would release Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip, but would not necessarily end the war. Hamas said it wants Israeli forces to evacuate all from Gaza and hopes to be part of any new ceasefire agreement to end the war.
Palestinians fled parts of northern Gaza after a deadly Israeli strike.
Israel has said it will wait until U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to the region ends before launching a new offensive, saying it is an opportunity to work towards a new ceasefire agreement. Although the team is still negotiating a potential truce in the Katari capital Doha, there seems to be no breakthrough. Trump did not visit Israel during his trip ending Friday.
Israel broke the first eight weeks of ceasefire in mid-March, triggering violent air strikes that killed hundreds of people. In the days before the ceasefire, Israel also stopped all imports of Gaza, including food, medicine and fuel, deepening the humanitarian crisis and triggering warnings about the growing risk of famine in the territory – a lockdown that continues.
Israel said the move also means putting pressure on Hamas.
According to Israel’s Soors, the war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 people. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, Israel's retaliatory offensive killed more than 53,000 Palestinians, many of whom were women and children, and the ministry did not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
Strike Gaza
According to the first responder of the Ministry of Health and Civil Defense, some of the areas in northern Gaza have been hit hard by Israel, with at least 43 people killed in the midst of the fierce attacks by Israel. The Shiite Hospital in Gaza said 15 of them were children and 12 were women.
According to Hamas's operation to run the government, 10 of them were killed in the refugee camp Jabaliya, established in northern Gaza. It said that the deceased had two parents, their three children, a father and his four children.
Fighting around Indonesian hospitals in northern Gaza and Israeli military “siege” prompted it to close, health officials said.
The hospital was the main medical institution for the war in the region in the northern part of the war, after Kamal Adwan, a former major hospital in northern Gaza, was forced to stop serving the Palestinians due to an Israeli strike, and the second facility, Beit Hanoun Hospital. The Israeli military also did not immediately comment on the hospital's surgery.
In central Gaza, at least 12 people died in three separate strikes, the hospital said. A strike in Zweida town killed seven people, including two children and four women, according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the town of Deir Al-Balah. The hospital said two parents and their children were killed for the second time in a Deir al-Balah apartment. The camp's AWDA hospital says
Nasser Hospital said that due to the condition that the body was brought in, it was difficult to be considered dead.
Houthi Rebels launches missiles in Israel
As the war in Gaza swept, conflict between Israel and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels escalated.
The Israeli military said it intercepted Houthi missiles launched in the country earlier Sunday, which triggered air strikes sirens in several areas of the country.
Rebels said they fired two ballistic missiles, including a hypersonic missile, at the major Israeli airport near Tel Aviv, and earlier this month he was hit by the Houthi missile.
“This operation successfully achieved Allah's goal and led to millions of occupying Zionists rushing to shelters,” said Husserl's military spokesman Brig.
Israel was excluded from a U.S. deal to block Houthi targets attacks on Yemen in exchange for their strikes on American ships in the Red Sea. Israel attacked Yemen for the eighth time since the Gaza war began in response to Houthi attacks.
