The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued to commit massacres and the genocide war in the Gaza Strip as their brutal aggression entered its 35th consecutive day on Friday. They carried out hundreds of airstrikes targeting residential areas and hospitals while also conducting ground incursions from various axes following a burned-earth policy but facing fierce resistance.
The PIC correspondent reported that the Israeli occupation aircraft had continued to launch more airstrikes on various parts of the Gaza Strip since midnight until Friday morning. These airstrikes included the destruction of homes and repeated bombardment of hospitals along with ongoing artillery shelling and the use of white phosphorus bombs. There were also clashes in the infiltration axes.
The IOF committed two massacres this morning in the Jabalia camp by bombing two houses resulting in 10 martyrs as well as several injured and missing individuals.
Hospital Bombardment
The IOF bombed the maternity hospital at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex this morning after previously bombing a car near the journalists’ tent in the complex’s courtyard after midnight which resulted in injuries including a young man who had his leg amputated.
Additionally Israeli aircraft targeted the Rantisi Children’s Hospital starting a huge fire and heavily bombed the vicinity of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza as well as the vicinity of Al-Quds Hospital in Tel Al-Hawa.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qudra stated that the bombardment caused fires in cars at the Rantisi Children’s Hospital and the fire spread to the injured patients’ wards. He noted that the displaced people present at the hospital along with the medical teams managed to control the fire.
He underlined that the hospital is now relying on water tanks and only the Intensive Care Unit for children is operational. He warned that continuing this situation for hours without intervention from the international community would lead to a catastrophe.
He explained that the hospital accommodates more than 6000 displaced persons injured individuals and medical teams including 25 children in the Intensive Care Unit.
The Government Media Office affirmed that the Israeli occupation’s targeting and bombing of hospitals is a criminal madness that has never happened in history deliberately targeting healthcare facilities and committing massacres within them.
It emphasized that what is happening to hospitals is a natural result of the international community’s and its organizations’ failure to fulfill their duty in protecting these civilian facilities.
The IOF also bombed an apartment near the Banda Mall in central Gaza starting a fire in it.
Meanwhile the invading forces continue their ground incursions in several axes of the Gaza Strip especially in the northern and central governorates. Fierce clashes and epic battles are being waged by the resistance heroes led by the Al-Qassam Brigades who have announced the destruction of more than 140 army vehicles during these battles.
Since October 7th the occupation forces have been carrying out a holocaust in the Gaza Strip through air land and sea attacks resulting in more than 40000 martyrs missing and injured Palestinians as a form of revenge against Palestinian civilians.
This brutal barbaric aggression has also led to the complete or partial destruction of more than 220000 housing units forcing 1.5 million people to be forcibly displaced from their homes. Furthermore water electricity food and medicine supplies have been cut off resulting in a war of starvation and thirst unprecedented in human history.
