Three killed in Israeli attack on Gaza’s Nuseirat
The Wafa news agency is reporting that three people were killed in an Israeli attack on the home of the al-Da’alsa family in the Nuseirat refugee camp. The attack took place on Wednesday evening.
As we’ve been reporting, there were a series of deadly attacks in Gaza overnight. These included:
- Beit Lahiya, where at least 66 were killed and dozens wounded.
- Sheikh Radwan, where 22 people, including 10 children were killed.
- Al-Mawasi, where at least seven people including one child were killed.
‘Many bodies hanging from walls, ceilings’ after Israeli attack in Beit Lahiya
We have more from Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya. He said most of the victims of the attack were asleep when they were killed.
“A very large number of casualties have arrived, and there are still many bodies hanging on the walls, ceilings. It’s mostly children and women, who arrived suddenly a little while ago,” he said in a voice message earlier this morning.
“Most of those who came were asleep when they were killed. The situation is honestly very dire. We cannot cope with this massive number of injured and casualties that have arrived to Kamal Adwan Hospital,” he said.
The paediatrician said the attack hit a whole residential block near Kamal Adwan and that the hospital’s staff were at the site, retrieving bodies, collecting remains and rescuing trapped people.
“We are already operating with the bare minimum resources, that is why most of our staff are now busy rescuing the injured… due to the lack of ambulances and resources,” he added.
As we’ve been reporting, northern Gaza has been under an Israeli siege for more than six weeks and Israel’s military has barred civil defence teams from operating in the area.

Several disabled people trapped under rubble in Gaza’s Beit Lahiya
As we’ve been reporting, Palestinians in Beit Lahiya are reeling from a huge Israeli bombardment that killed at least 66 people, many women and children.
Residents are frantically working to pull dozens of injured people out from the rubble of collapsed buildings, many using their bare hands, reports Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum. Among those still trapped are three people with disabilities, including a blind girl, according to Abu Azzoum.
“The rescue operation might take a very long time due to the lack of essential equipment,” he said.
Three killed near Khan Younis
We are getting reports of a new Israeli attack near southern Gaza’s Khan Younis. The attack, hitting the Qaa al-Qurain area south of the city, has killed at least three people, according to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.
It comes after a spate of attacks on Khan Younis’s al-Mawasi yesterday – an Israeli-designated so-called “safe zone” – including one that killed three children from the same family.
