The Israeli occupation forces targeted the third floor of Rantisi Children's Hospital in Gaza, a month after the beginning of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, affecting infrastructure and essential necessities.

Fifteen Palestinians were martyred during the bombing of the Abu Alwan family residence in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood, located west of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. Thirteen more died due to the occupation's bombing of a residence with its occupants in the Al-Zawaida area in the central Gaza Strip.

Furthermore, three Palestinians were martyred, and six others sustained injuries when they arrived at the Indonesian Hospital, following an Israeli airstrike on a residence on Al-Ajarma Street in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip.

Within the scope of Israeli ground invasions, multiple confrontations unfolded between Palestinian resistance forces and the occupation forces in several locations: Gaza City, along the southern Gaza Sea coastline, the western Gaza coastline, the eastern central region, and the northwest of Gaza.

This incident marks another instance during this offensive in which the occupation attacked hospitals in the Gaza Strip. On October 17, the Israeli military committed a heinous crime by directly targeting the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, resulting in the loss of hundreds of lives.

The occupation then threatened to bomb the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and commit a new massacre, which included displaced and injured people from different areas. 

On that note, the occupation has deliberately put 105 health institutions, 16 hospitals, and 32 primary care centers out of service, in addition to 27 ambulances, according to the Ministry of Health.

In the past few hours, the Gaza Strip witnessed violent bombardment after the occupation completely cut off all means of communication. Al Mayadeen's correspondent stated that the bombing focused on Gaza City and its suburbs and that the Israeli occupation forces targeted the Beach camp alone with 100 raids and shells within half an hour. 

On another note, the Ministry of Interior in Gaza indicated that, during the past two days, the occupation has intensified the use of internationally banned white phosphorus bombs, targeting shelter centers and hospitals with the aim of displacing the residents of Gaza City. 

Israeli doctors sign off on "terrorism" 

This comes after a hundred Israeli doctors have signed a petition calling for the destruction of al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip, as the Israeli occupation embarks on that exact journey.

The petition, titled "Doctors for the rights of [Israeli] soldiers," calls for the bombing of a Palestinian hospital housing thousands of refugees who are seeking shelter there because, generally, bombing hospitals is not allowed under international law, though "Israel" has proven time and time again that it has no regard for such stipulations.

The Israeli doctors see that Palestinian hospitals have become a legitimate target for the Israeli occupation forces, upholding the narrative that Palestinian Resistance groups are using hospitals for protection.

"They built terrorist headquarters inside the hospitals with the understanding that no harm would come to them," the petition says about Hamas. "That murderous terrorist organization spares no means and brutally commits murder and unprecedented atrocities against people, women, and children - therefore any place where its people hide and/or is used for terrorist activity is a legitimate target for destruction - even if it is houses patients."
