The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza reported a new massacre by Israeli occupation forces in Jabalia, located in northern Gaza, earlier today.

The spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces bombed a residential area in Jabalia, resulting in a significant number of casualties, including many who are still trapped under the rubble. This marks the second massacre committed by the Israeli occupation in Jabalia in less than 24 hours, with entire families among the casualties.

Concurrently, Israeli warplanes also carried out airstrikes on the Martyrs' Roundabout (al-Falouja) in Jabalia and a house on al-Alami Street within the Jabalia camp.

According to reports, victims were transported to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, shortly after a civilian vehicle was targeted in Nuseirat camp.

In response to the news of this second massacre in Jabalia, Hamas issued a statement condemning the Israeli actions as "crimes", emphasizing that this represents yet another round in a series of horrific massacres in the Gaza Strip. The statement noted that these actions will continue to stain the conscience of humanity and the international community that stand idly by.

The statement further called on Arab and Islamic countries, as well as the international community, to shoulder their political and moral responsibilities to halt the crimes of the Israeli entity, which has exhibited unprecedented brutality and savagery.

The Ministry of Health also issued a warning, stressing that 16 hospitals went out of service due to Israeli constant bombing and fuel shortages.

The most recent hospital to be affected was the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital for Cancer Diseases, which was recently targeted by an Israeli airstrike.

The Ministry pointed out that the lives of 70 cancer patients within the hospital are now at serious risk, as the number of cancer patients in the Gaza Strip exceeds 2,000, all of whom are living in dire health conditions due to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip.

Subhi Skaik, the director of the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza, confirmed that the hospital's power generators stopped functioning due to running out of fuel. He called on the world to tend to "cancer patients who are at risk of death."

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza also announced that the number of martyrs had risen to 8,796 on the 26th day of the Israeli occupation's aggression on the Gaza Strip, including 3,648 children and 2,290 women.
