"Israel" persisted for 63 days in the relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deterioration of health facilities and humanitarian aid initiatives amid the severe Israeli aggression.

In the northern part of the Gaza Strip, the occupation committed massacres against forcibly displaced Palestinians in UNRWA facilities, especially in Al-Zeitoun neighborhood north of Beit Lahia. Following these massacres, the displaced Palestinians issued pleas for rescue, Al Mayadeen's correspondent said.

Among those taken hostage today in Beit Lahia are:
-Khalil Hashem Al-Kahlot, 65,
- Rafiq Ahmad Al-Kahlot, 60,
- Muhammad Ismail Al-Kahlot, 57
- Darwish Gharbawy, @unrwa School director, 48
- Ahmed Akram Lubad, 56, @UN staff
In addition to the children

To the east of Gaza City, Israeli warplanes carried out fiery raids, bombing residential buildings, most notably the neighborhoods of Sabra, Al-Sahaba, and Tuffah neighborhoods. Meanwhile, residents issued appeals for the retrieval of dozens of martyrs from under the rubble.

In the central area of the Strip, the occupation targeted the surroundings of Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Hospital and Yafa Mosque in Deir al-Balah. The occupation also shelled the vicinity of the Salehi Towers and a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp, leading to the martyrdom of several Palestinians, according to our correspondent.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported earlier this morning that Israeli snipers besieged the al-Awda Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, confirming that the hospital's administration evacuated patients from their rooms.

In a related development, an Israeli sniper fatally shot a volunteer doctor while he was on duty in the hospital. Furthermore, the occupation increased the deployment of smoke bombs in Jabalia camp, as verified by our correspondent.

Our correspondent also reported that Israeli warships targeted the shores of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

It is worth noting that a minimum of 110 health centers and 21 hospitals have halted operations since October 7, as per the most recent information from Gaza's government media department.

The report further indicates that 287 medical personnel have been killed in Israeli attacks during the same timeframe. Additionally, the destruction of at least 58 ambulances has significantly impeded the transportation of injured Palestinians to the remaining available treatment facilities in Gaza.
