Israeli attacks kill at least 17 at Gaza shelter

Smoke rises after Israeli warplanes bombed the Hamama and al-Huda school complex, in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood in the north of Gaza City on Saturday.

Israeli warplanes returned minutes after the first attack to again bomb the school, after volunteers, rescue workers and paramedics had already rushed inside to search for survivors

At least 17 Palestinians were killed and 60 injured as warplanes targeted the crowded school where Palestinian families were sheltering multiple times.

Three killed in Israeli drone attack on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital

At least three people have been killed and several others wounded as Israeli drones dropped bombs on tents in the yard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, according to colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.

Israeli forces have also launched several raids on the eastern neighbourhoods of Gaza City and the western neighbourhoods of the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, while Israeli gunboats fired towards the northwestern areas of Gaza City, according to reports from Palestinian media.

 

Gaza media office condemns ‘massacre’ at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital

The office said the latest Israeli attack on tents housing displaced Palestinians at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital killed at least three people and wounded 18 others.

“We condemn in the strongest terms this new massacre by the occupation,” it said, urging the international community to pressure Israel to cease its “genocide” and bring an end to the “waterfall of blood” gushing in the Gaza Strip.

Our correspondent in Gaza, Anas al-Sharif, posted a video on X of a fire that broke out at the hospital following the attack.

‘Why we suffer that much?’

Shifa al-Days, a woman sheltering in Al-Aqsa Hospital’s yard, lost her daughter in the Israeli drone attack.

“I was sleeping together with my children in the tent,” al-Days told Al Jazeera. “My daughter has also a separate tent next to me. Suddenly we heard the shelling, then I quickly got up to check on the children. I was shocked when I found my daughter dead at the entrance of the tent,” she said.

“My daughter’s two sons have lost their mother. Why we suffer that much?” she asked.
