For the 27th consecutive day, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have intensified their attacks in northern Gaza, particularly in the Jabalia refugee camp and Beit Lahia, amid an Israeli siege and systematic starvation that have isolated the northern governorate from the rest of Gaza.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the Israeli army bombed the remaining medical supply store at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.
Our correspondent added that Israeli warplanes bombed the upper floors of Kamal Adwan Hospital, resulting in the destruction of life-saving medical supplies and equipment received just five days ago from the World Health Organization.

Simultaneously, Israeli tanks opened fire on the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, according to Palestinian media.
Our correspondent reported that intense Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling targeted civilian homes in Jabalia and Beit Lahia, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries.
Among the martyrs was Jihad Akram Qadous, a prominent volleyball player for the Shabab Jabalia Club and Al-Sadaqa Clubs, who was killed in the Israeli bombardment in northern Gaza.
In Gaza City and central Gaza, Israeli artillery shelling struck the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, Tal al-Hawa, and the eastern parts of al-Shujaiya, as well as al-Sabra, al-Nuseirat, and northern al-Bureij and al-Maghazi.
Israeli artillery shelled the area around al-Khalidi Mosque and the intelligence headquarters in northwestern Gaza City, according to our correspondent.
Several casualties and injuries were reported in an Israeli strike on the tents of forcibly displaced people in the al-Bassa area of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.
An Israeli airstrike also targeted agricultural lands in Rafah, southern Gaza.
Additionally, Israeli occupation forces continue to occupy and close the crossings into Gaza, preventing the travel of the injured and sick for treatment and blocking the entry of humanitarian aid into the region.
Civil Defense in Gaza: IOF target emergency responders
The Civil Defense in Gaza reported that the IOF "open fire on anyone who tries to approach a vehicle belonging to us that they seized in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza."
They stated that Civil Defense operations have been forcibly suspended for the ninth consecutive day in all areas of northern Gaza due to ongoing Israeli targeting and aggression, leaving thousands of civilians without humanitarian or medical care.
The Civil Defense called on humanitarian organizations, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and the International Committee of the Red Cross to intervene urgently to allow their teams to fulfill their humanitarian duties.
Hamas condemns int'l silence on Kamal Adwan Hospital child massacre
Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas issued a strong condemnation last Friday of the international community's silence over Israeli attacks on Gaza, calling on Muslim and Arab nations to move beyond statements of condemnation and take direct action.
In its statement, Hamas said the international community bears political and moral responsibility for ongoing war crimes by Israeli occupation forces against Palestinians in Gaza.
Hamas' statement follows an Israeli raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital, the last operational medical facility in Beit Lahia, near the heavily bombarded Jabalia area.
According to Palestinian reports, the IOF bombed the hospital's oxygen station, resulting in the deaths of several children.
Quds News Network reported that dozens of people were detained during an Israeli raid on the hospital, with detainees subjected to abuse and forced to disrobe before being gathered in an open area.
The hospital's medical staff, wounded patients, displaced families, and media activists were reportedly taken to an unknown location.
Calling the attack a "war crime and a blatant violation of international law," Hamas said the raid occurred just hours after Israeli forces imposed a siege on the facility, preventing aid from reaching the area.
The movement said the escalation reflects "Israel's" broader genocidal campaign, which it aims to "cleanse" the northern Gaza Strip of Palestinians, with active support from the US administration.
