Gaza’s al-Amal Hospital ‘directly fired upon’ by Israeli forces

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reports that the al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis that it operates was directly targeted by Israeli forces earlier today, but there were no injuries.

‘Three days of asking for access’ to reach family trapped under rubble: UN

Georgios Petropoulos, the Gaza head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), says it took OCHA three days of asking for access from Israel to “reach a family trapped under their bombed home” in Gaza.

“The only thing emergency crews can do now is to recover their remains,” he said in a post on X. The attack was a part of the Israeli military’s devastating strikes on the Hamad City development in southern Khan Younis city.


Qassam Brigades claims inflicting casualties in Gaza tunnel blast

The armed wing of Hamas claims that its fighters managed to lure Israeli forces from a combat engineering unit into a booby-trapped tunnel, killing some and wounding others.

The Qassam Brigades said the tunnel was located in the area of Israeli military sites east of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza. It also said Palestinian fighters engaged in “fierce clashes” with Israeli forces expanding a ground invasion in al-Jafarawi, also east of Deir el-Balah, inflicting casualties who were later evacuated by a military helicopter.

The Qassam Brigades said a Merkava tank was hit with a Yassin-105 shell in the area as well.

Israeli army says three officers killed in Gaza fighting

The Israeli military has confirmed that three of its soldiers have been killed in two separate incidents in the Gaza Strip.

Two reservists who were seriously wounded on Friday after Palestinian fighters detonated an explosive device planted outside a building in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood were among the killed.

A third soldier was killed in an armed clash near the Netzarim Corridor that the Israeli military has built to separate the southern and northern parts of the enclave.

The announcement by the Israeli military brings the total death toll from the bombing ambush in the Zeitoun district to three, as another soldier had died on Friday. Four other soldiers were also seriously wounded, with another three moderately hurt.
