IDF protecting their lies by continuing to target journalists
Two air strikes targeted journalists, displaced people in Al-Aqsa Hospital
The Israeli air force targeted two tents with two air strikes inside the Al-Aqsa Hospital compound which had a lot of Palestinians seeking refuge. It was also the place where journalists worked. The tents that were stuck were next to each other, resulting in casualties.
We still don’t know how many people were killed in the attack. According to witnesses and paramedics, the bodies were severely damaged by the air strikes.
Everyone is terrified here. They have been seeking refuge inside this hospital for more than six months now. Nowhere is safe as Palestinians are targeted in hospitals, schools, and makeshift tents. They don’t know where to go.
Khaled al-Dakran, the spokesman for Al-Aqsa Hospital, says the hospital’s courtyard was directly targeted in the Israeli attack. “Hospitals and medical teams and all health sector workers must be protected and the international community must provide such protection,” he said.
“The patients, the wounded and the displaced are in a state of panic and horror, fearing that the Israeli planes will attack the hospital again.”
Israel’s military claims that its attack targeted a command centre operated by the Islamic Jihad group, while the Government Media Office in Gaza claims it struck a tent of journalists and displaced people.

Completely chaotic scenes after Israel targets people waiting for aid
Once again, the Israeli forces opened fire on people waiting for aid supplies to be delivered at the Kuwait Roundabout in central Gaza. Witnesses on the ground described the situation there as completely chaotic.
Israeli forces also targeted members of local and popular tribal committees that are responsible for securing the deliveries of aid supplies. They work for the supplies to be safely distributed among desperate families in need.
Israeli forces have targeted people at the Kuwait Roundabout, which is called a death trap among Palestinians, multiple times.
Witnesses we have contacted say medical teams, along with civil defence crews, are still grappling to evacuate the victims and injured people from the location after the latest attack. There are still people laying on the ground without receiving rescue teams because of the intense level of Israel’s bombardment.
People keep going there, despite the risky nature of the place, because they have no other option. They know they might be targeted, but they don’t want to return to their houses and families empty-handed.
