At least three killed in Israeli attack on Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan area

At least three people have been killed in an Israeli bombing of the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood in Gaza City, according to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.

The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said 10 people were also injured in the attack that hit a group of Palestinians in the vicinity of Hamama School.

Also in Gaza City, Israeli artillery shelling hit the southern and eastern areas of the Zeitoun neighbourhood, and smoke bombs were used by Israeli forces in the east of Zeitoun.


One-year-old boy dies in Gaza’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital

A one-year-old boy has died in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital here in Deir el-Balah in the past half an hour despite his case being treatable according to the doctors we spoke to.

Due to the lack of medical supplies, the hospital could not do anything to save him. A medical mission organised by the WHO was trying to get him out of the Gaza Strip but failed because the Israeli military banned this one-year-old boy from leaving the enclave.

This is part of the silent death that is happening on an hourly basis in the Gaza Strip. We see more of it here because we are at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. We see people being brought out of the hospital and into the morgue on an hourly basis from all age groups due to the lack of medical supplies.


‘He was sitting peacefully with friends’: Father of Israeli attack victim in Maghazi

Our correspondent in Gaza, Hani Mahmoud, attended the funeral of five people who were killed when an Israeli army drone attacked a group taking a delivery of commercial trucks.

He spoke to one man, identified as Abu Ahmed, whose son was killed in the attack. “He was sitting peacefully with a group of his friends; an Israeli missile took them by surprise. They were all killed, the six of them. I thank God for all that comes our way. We pray for God’s mercy, simply because the whole world has abandoned us; not a single person has taken any action in our support.

“We seek mercy from God, not any other individual, be it Arab or Muslim. For 14 months, the whole world has been watching us being slaughtered and butchered [on live TV]. Our population is being exterminated by the Israelis, but all we say is ‘Thanks be to God.'”

Israeli forces strike school-turned-shelter in Gaza City

We just got an update that the Israeli forces targeted Salah al-Din School, a school in the centre of Gaza City, and they targeted a classroom there.

And let me tell you that this school was sheltering thousands of Palestinians who already fled from this Israeli siege that has been imposed on them. All of the people who were in this school came from Jabalia, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoon, and this is not the first time the Israeli forces targeted this school.

This is the fourth time the same school has been targeted.

We are unable to reach anyone on the ground to know what’s the story and how many people have been injured or killed. But we know that there’s a huge fire that erupted in the classroom, and the firefighters and Palestinian Civil Defence teams are trying their best to contain it.

But it’s obvious that this school has been packed with Palestinians. We’re talking about children, we’re talking about women, and it’s obvious that there are a lot of people that will be affected by this target.
