Israeli force shoot at Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahiya
Gaza’s civil defence agency spokesperson, Mahmoud Basal, told Al Jazeera that Israeli forces shot at the Indonesian Hospital and ambulances in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza.
Basal said Israeli forces shot at citizens in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon, areas that have all been under intense Israeli siege since October.
He added that there are no more surgeons at Kamal Adwan Hospital, whose vicinity was attacked earlier today, that can perform necessary operations and that Israel has refused to allow aid into northern Gaza.

The Wafa news agency is reporting that the death toll has now reached 20, including six children and five women. The report added that Israeli warplanes had targeted the house that had been evacuated prior to the attack. Several people in neighbouring homes were wounded by the strike.
At the same time, a young girl was killed when Israeli artillery shelled tents housing displaced families near the western part of Nuseirat.
