Israel has continued its aerial and ground bombardment of the Gaza
Strip, killing dozens more Palestinians, as fighting rages around Gaza City’s
main al-Shifa hospital, Palestinian officials and the Israeli military said.
Seventy-one people were killed and 112 wounded over the
last 24 hours, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said on Friday.
Two Israeli attacks on the Shujayea suburb in eastern
Gaza City killed 17 people, while an Israeli air raid on a house in the Maghazi
refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip killed eight people, health authorities
said.
At least 10 policemen tasked with securing aid to the
displaced in northern Gaza were among those killed in Shujayea, Gaza’s
government media office said.
The Israeli military said its forces continued
operations around the al-Shifa medical complex, and that over the past day, it
had killed a number of gunmen
Al-Shifa, Gaza’s biggest hospital before the war, was
one of the few healthcare facilities even partially operational in northern
Gaza before the latest fighting. It had also been housing displaced civilians.
The Israeli statement said its forces also conducted
raids in central and southern areas of the besieged strip, including Khan
Younis and al-Karara, where troops exchanged fire with Palestinian gunmen
before they killed them.
The armed wing of Hamas said its fighters targeted
Israeli forces near Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, one of the city’s two
hospitals blockaded by Israeli soldiers for several days.
In the far south of the Gaza Strip, Israel continued its
bombardment in Rafah, the Palestinians’ last refuge where more than half of
Gaza’s 2.3 million people are sheltering. An air raid on a house killed 12
Palestinians late on Thursday.
More than 32,623 Palestinians have been killed by
Israeli forces in Gaza since the start of the war on October 7.
