At least 15 martyrs were killed by "Israel" when occupation forces targeted the residential area of Jabalia in northern Gaza, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza.

The IOF has forced residents out of several neighborhoods in the northern Gaza Strip, particularly in the Beit Lahia project, while besieging other residents of Beit Lahia, Falujah, and other towns in the northern sector.

In Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, several were martyred and others were injured after "Israel" shelled a school affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).

Israeli snipers also targeted and killed civilians in the Yarmouk neighborhood in the city of Gaza, as reported by Al Mayadeen's correspondent.

The occupation forces, through their aircraft and artillery, committed more massacres against Palestinians, especially in the neighborhoods of al-Zaytoun and al-Shujaiya in Gaza, in the past few hours.

'Israel' targets schools

The IOF unleashed a large number of internationally prohibited phosphorus bombs on the areas of Shujaiya, al-Daraj, and al-Tuffah, targeting high-rises, especially in the east of Shujaiya.

In Khan Younis, occupation forces committed a massacre after targeting two schools that were sheltering displaced individuals.

Due to the countless Israeli crimes and massacres, burial sites are running out, as residents are now burying their relatives under trees or in popular markets.

This comes as the occupation forces continue to besiege the medical staff at the Martyr Kamal Adwan Hospital after targeting its southern gate at dawn, preventing medical personnel from leaving. Twelve incubated babies are also trapped under siege.

The occupation forces are removing the wounded from Kamal Adwan Hospital to the open.

The same scene of horror is repeating itself in Kamal Adwan and Al-Awda hospitals, where the occupation targets everyone moving within them.

IOF turned Kamal Adwan Hospital into a military barracks

Earlier on Friday evening, the spokesperson for the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra, confirmed that the Israeli forces committed over 18 massacres and genocide crimes in the past few hours across all areas of the Gaza Strip.

Al-Qudra announced an increase in the toll of the Israeli aggression to 18,787 martyrs and 50,897 injuries since October 7.

He said that the Israeli occupation had turned Kamal Adwan Hospital into a barracks and a stage for its military operations.

He mentioned the Israeli occupation authorities demanded, under threat, the evacuation of the wounded and patients to Al-Shifa Medical Complex, which lacks the necessary medical capabilities, which amounts to a death sentence for the patients.
