The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported on Friday that the occupation destroyed the electrical generators belonging to Kamal Adwan Hospital, rendering its capacity for operation largely restricted.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that the Israeli occupation arrested five wounded Palestinians being attended to at the hospital this morning, adding that the occupation controls the volume, quality, and destination of medical aid being brought into the Gaza Strip, including its hospitals.

In parallel, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza said that Israeli occupation forces are still besieging Al-Awda Hospital and preventing medical teams and wounded Gazans from moving even on hospital grounds.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent added that "Israel's" war on hospitals continues, as the IOF continue to commit massacres, detain patients, and force Palestinians to walk out, naked, shackled, and at gunpoint.

This comes as the occupation conducted multiple air raids on Khan Younis, south of the Strip, committing massacres and war crimes by targeting schools that are housing displaced Palestinian families whose homes had been leveled to the ground.

Brutal night in southern Gaza, IOF kills dozens in Khan Younis, Rafah

Dozens of Palestinian civilians were martyred and others were injured between the late hours of Thursday and early Friday in Israeli airstrikes on the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

At least four civilians, including children, were killed, and others were injured in the occupation's bombardment of the Abu Nasr family home in the western camp west of Khan Younis. The injured were transferred to Al-Nasr Hospital in the city.

Furthermore, the occupation's artillery shelling on several neighborhoods in the city of Khan Younis resulted in dozens of martyrs and injuries.

In Rafah, Israeli war jets bombed a residential block near the Kuwaiti Hospital, resulting in dozens of martyrs and injuries, who were transferred to the Al-Najjar Hospital in the city.

Israelis also bombed residential areas and homes in Deir al-Balah, Gaza City, Al-Nuseirat, and Jabalia. The strikes resulted in dozens of injuries, as the occupation also forced medical staff, patients, and journalists to evacuate the Martyrs of Jabalia Medical Center.

In a related context, the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education confirmed the martyrdom of 3714 students and the injury of 5700 since the beginning of the war on Gaza and the aggression on the occupied West Bank on October 7.

Since the start of the Israeli aggression on #Gaza and the #WestBank on October 7, the impact on students has been devastating.
