Many Palestinians killed, wounded amid ‘dangerous escalation’ in Gaza City
The Wafa news agency reports that “heavy” Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip has killed, wounded and trapped many Palestinians under the rubble in recent hours. It reported a “dangerous escalation” in Gaza City, including artillery attacks and gunfire in the south as well as an attack on a home in Tuffah in the east, which resulted “in a number of martyrs and wounded”.
Rescue workers are scrambling to find the missing who may be trapped under the rubble, it said. The agency also reported “successive explosions” in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza and an attack on Rafah in the south that also killed and wounded several people.
The renewed assaults came as medics reported that Israeli forces attacked the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, hitting the nursery, the yard and the water tanks, and seriously wounding a child there.
Wafa also reported that an Israeli drone fired at the gates and walls of the Indonesian Hospital, also in Beit Lahiya, causing panic among patients and healthcare workers.

Four-day-old child only survivor in ICU after attack on Gaza hospital
A four-day-old child, Mohammed, is the only survivor at the intensive care unit (ICU) of Kamal Adwan’s Hospital in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, doctors told Al Jazeera from the facility, which has been under the Israeli military siege.
Israeli artillery last week targeted the hospital’s facilities, including the ICU, killing several children. Patients have been battling to stay alive amid electricity outages and a severe shortage of basic supplies, including IV solutions.
Mohammed’s family was reported to have been killed and the baby was struggling to survive after the oxygen station that aided his breathing was destroyed.
