He also documented a chilling incident in which the IOF intentionally shot a Palestinian woman holding a white flag, attached her body to their tank, and dragged it behind.
Numerous Palestinians killed in an Israeli massacre in Jabalia, located in the northern Gaza Strip, were taken to Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, as per our correspondent.
He further emphasized that the occupation committed such atrocities amid a communications blackout and an alarming international silence.
90 patients' lives at risk
With the continued tightening of the occupation's siege on the Strip, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) warned of the potential halt of the only power generator at Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis due to fuel shortages, posing a threat to the lives of 90 patients.

If it starts to pour, there will be a great danger for the refugees, whose conditions will only grow worse, as they only have these tents for shelter after the occupation destroyed their homes, our correspondent in Gaza reported.
The Gaza Strip's government media office reported an increase in the death toll resulting from Israeli strikes, now reaching 11,240, with 4,630 children among the casualties, as of Monday.

Hospitals besieged, out of fuel; power outages killing preterm babies
Dr. Medhat Abbas, a director from the Gaza Ministry of Health, informed Al Mayadeen English, on Monday, that premature infants in the largest hospital in Gaza are being swaddled in foil and placed near warm water as an urgent measure to ensure their survival, while Israeli airstrikes continue to bombard streets near the hospital.
With the last of the fuel reserves depleting, the facility is rendered incapable of operating, Dr. Abbas added.
Footage shared by the Gaza Ministry of Health revealed multiple premature babies, previously removed from their incubators at the hospital, now huddled together and placed in a single bed.
According to the doctor, a number of premature babies were killed in the past day in the intensive care unit and the nursery, as "Israel" persists in its ongoing bombardment and blockade of Gaza.
Staff at Shifa Hospital have shared this photo of their heroic attempts to keep the premature babies alive in an operating theatre after they were forced to shut down the NICU. Taken 6pm today.

Concurrently, Dr. Iyad al-Jabari, the medical director of Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza, described the situation as "catastrophic, with significant challenges." He mentioned that the hospital has reached full capacity and fuel is sufficient for one day only, emphasizing the fact that there is no safe place to evacuate patients, wounded individuals, and children.
