To retaliate for the innocent lives taken by the IOF in its massacre against Al-Maamadani National Hospital in Gaza that left over 800 killed, Al-Qassam Brigades bombed “Tel Aviv” and the “Ramon” air base in the occupied Naqab with a missile barrage.
Sirens also sounded in and occupied Askalan and Asdud today, the same day after Al-Qassam launched an R160 missile towards the occupied city of Haifa, as “a response to the massacres against civilians.”
The Israeli occupation forces bombed a Palestinian Hospital as Gaza health authorities continue reporting that its health sector is suffering in light of the crisis, with medicine and medical supplies being at risk of running out.

Some Israeli and pro-Israeli accounts claimed it was a failed resistance launch, but based on the speed of the object it's not possible for it to be a missile, as dud rockets failing to accelerate would have much lower speeds.
The speed difference can be easily identified between gliding munition launched from the air and failing-to-accelerate dud missiles. Hence, the object that hit the hospital was most definitely an Israeli airstrike.
Despite global appeals to protect healthcare facilities from Israeli airstrikes and forced displacement orders, Israeli threats have targeted hospitals in the Gaza Strip, endangering the well-being of patients and the wounded. "Israel" demanded on Saturday that al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza forcibly evacuate its patients and staff within two hours.

Israeli warplanes also conducted airstrikes in the vicinity of the hospital in Tel al-Zaatar, northern Gaza, as part of their attempt to exert pressure on the hospital and expedite the displacement process.
In the same context, al-Durra Children's Hospital in the east of the Gaza Strip was forced to evacuate its staff and patients after it was pounded with white phosphorus munitions.
This situation unfolds as the healthcare system in Gaza faces a severe crisis, marked by dwindling medication supplies and electricity shortages due to the total Israeli blockade.
Palestinian Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra told Al Mayadeen, on Thursday, that Gaza was hours away from essential services completely shutting down, and the health sector was in collapse.
