Gaza – Saba:
The Israeli enemy army committed a horrific massacre, killing 34 Palestinians and wounding dozens more, after launching a series of violent airstrikes targeting the Gaza European Hospital and its surroundings in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip.
The Ministry of Health and Civil Defense in Gaza said in two separate statements, according to Anadolu Agency, that the Israeli bombing resulted in the deaths of 34 Palestinians, including six in the hospital and 28 others in an adjacent home belonging to the Afghani family, as a result of the fire belts that targeted the hospital and its surroundings.
The Ministry of Health explained that "the direct bombing of the hospital grounds led to the deaths of six Palestinians and the wounding of more than 40 with various injuries."
For his part, Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal said that "the raids resulted in the deaths of 28 people in the Afghani home near the hospital, in addition to the injury of two Civil Defense personnel while attempting evacuation."
In turn, the Israeli army acknowledged bombing the hospital, claiming it targeted "Hamas operatives inside a command and control complex built underneath the hospital."
The Hebrew website Walla quoted three informed Israeli sources as saying that the attack "was an assassination attempt against Mohammed Sinwar."
The sources indicated that "the results of the attack are still unknown."
Earlier, the Israeli army killed a Palestinian man and his wife in a bombing that targeted a tent housing displaced persons west of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, according to a medical source.
The same source reported that three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli bombing that targeted the Shuja'iyya neighborhood east of Gaza City, while another Palestinian succumbed to his wounds in a bombing earlier today on an area west of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
At dawn on Tuesday, a medical source said that three Palestinians from the same family were killed in an Israeli bombing that targeted a tent in the Al-Amoudi area west of the town of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip.
The source said that young man Mohammed al-Ja'bari died of injuries he sustained in a previous Israeli bombardment of the Shuja'iyya neighborhood east of Gaza City.
Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli artillery repeatedly shelled the al-Tuffah and Shuja'iyya neighborhoods east of Gaza City, amid heavy army gunfire.
The witnesses confirmed that the Israeli army continued to demolish residential buildings in the eastern areas of Gaza City.
In the Central Governorate, Al-Awda Ahli Hospital said in a statement that a Palestinian was killed and two others were injured as a result of Israeli drone fire targeting a gathering of citizens northwest of the Nuseirat refugee camp.
In another statement, the hospital explained that a Palestinian was injured as a result of an Israeli drone firing a bomb at a gathering of citizens in the Shuhada Roundabout area in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
In the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Health said in a statement Tuesday morning that two Palestinians, one of whom was a journalist, were killed and others were injured in an Israeli bombardment that directly targeted the surgical building at the Nasser Medical Complex.
The Government Media Office in Gaza previously stated in a statement that the enemy "assassinated journalist Hassan Aslih by targeting him in a bombing of the Nasser Medical Complex while he was receiving treatment," bringing the number of journalist martyrs to 215.
The Ministry of Interior in Gaza also announced in a statement the martyrdom of "Ahmed Al-Qudra, the director of the Anti-Narcotics Police and a member of the Gaza Police Command Council," in a bombing of the city of Khan Yunis at dawn.
Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli artillery shelled the "Al-Sanati" area east of the town of Abasan Al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis.
Israeli warplanes also launched four raids on the town of Abasan Al-Kabira and several raids on the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
Witnesses indicated that the Israeli army continues to demolish residential buildings in the city of Rafah.
The Zionist enemy continues to commit a widespread crime of genocide against the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, including killing, destruction, starvation, and forced displacement, ignoring all international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
This US-backed war left more than 172,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
