In yet another bloody day for Gaza, the Israeli occupation committed new massacres against Palestinians across the Strip on Sunday, in addition to targeting multiple hospitals and medical and civil teams, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra, announced earlier that the death toll from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7th has risen to 15,523 martyrs, with 41,316 citizens sustaining various injuries. He also pointed out that 70% of the martyred civilians are children and women.

Our correspondent reported that a new Israeli massacre was committed at the gates of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. The Israeli occupation carried out strikes targeting the hospital's entrance, killing and wounding tens of civilians.

Furthermore, Palestinian media stated that medical and civil teams are unable to bury over 35 civilian martyrs, whose bodies are still in the facility's courtyards and directly outside its premises, due to the nonstop Israeli shelling.

Continuous strikes prevent reaching martyrs and injuries

Meanwhile, in the central Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation targeted the vicinity of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, resulting in the martyrdom of several individuals and the injury of others.

The Director-General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Munir al-Barsh, revealed that, amid the Israeli strikes, more than 7,000 displaced Palestinians are taking shelter inside the Kamal Adwan Hospital. Al-Barsh warned that the occupation is trying to advance toward the hospital to besiege it.

Just on Sunday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported the martyrdom of hundreds of civilians across Gaza, a large number of which were killed in massacres after the occupation forces struck residential areas.

As the Israeli occupation military continues to carry out violent bombardments, leaving no time window for rescue efforts to be carried out, our correspondent in the Gaza Strip confirmed that the medical staff are no longer able to count the number of martyrs who have fallen in the aggression.

Israelis strike 14 hospitals across Gaza

The occupation has directly targeted more than 14 hospitals in Gaza City and the northern part of the Strip since the beginning of the aggression, the Government Media Office in Gaza announced, pointing out that assassination attempts against doctors and medical personnel are ongoing.

The Office further slammed the Israeli army's targeting of Kamal Adwan Hospital as a serious violation of international humanitarian law. Sounding the alarm again, it pointed out that the occupation's attacks signify a comprehensive plan aimed at destroying the Gaza health sector completely.

In just the past few weeks, the Israeli occupation forces arrested 35 doctors in Gaza, including Dr. Mohammad Abu Salmiya, the general director of al-Shifa Medical Complex.

Meanwhile, the international community, including the United States, has been called upon to halt the green light it has given to "Israel" to target hospitals and medical facilities and to crush the health sector in Gaza.

In the same context, several martyrs were reported after an Israeli airstrike targeted a home belonging to the Daour family in the al-Falouja area in the Jabalia refugee camp.

Israeli warplanes also carried out intense raids on other parts of the camp, while other attacks targeted the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the center of Gaza City, including the Shamaa Mosque.

Four martyrs from the sole Civil Defense team in Gaza City

In a separate aggression, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that a fire broke out at the al-Sanafour fuel station in the al-Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza as a result of consecutive Israeli shelling.

The attack resulted in the martyrdom of four members of the only remaining operational Civil Defense team in Gaza City. The rest of the crew were also wounded, technically putting the entire rescue unit out of service.

As part of its crimes against civilians, the Israeli occupation carried out several airstrikes targeting the infrastructure in the center of Gaza, destroying the al-Baraka bakery in Deir al-Balah and the Hidaya Orphans Association.

In the southern Gaza Strip, our correspondent reported the martyrdom of nine Palestinians after the occupation targeted a home belonging to the al-Jazzar family in the al-Tannour neighborhood, east of Rafah.

An official in the media office pointed out that the situation in hospitals that are still operating is catastrophic, as they lack fuel and basic medical supplies.
