Adding to its long list of crimes in its ongoing genocide in Gaza, the Israeli occupation bombed early Sunday tents sheltering forcibly displaced Palestinian families, which were erected in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza.
The Gaza Government Media Office revealed that the preliminary toll of the heinous aggression is three martyrs and over 18 wounded, including critical cases.
In a statement, the office condemned the Israeli "new massacre, which adds to a series of continuous massacres for more than 300 days of genocidal war against our unarmed Palestinian people."

This brutal attack came less than one day after the Israeli occupation army bombed a school also sheltering forcibly displaced Palestinian families, killing and wounding tens of people.
The air attack on the Hamama School, located in the Sheikh Radwan Neighborhood in northernmost Gaza, led to the martyrdom of 15 Palestinians and the wounding of at least 35 others.
According to the latest report published on Saturday by the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza, 39,550 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli war on Gaza since October 7, in addition to 91,280 injured.
