The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced on Friday that one of its fighters carried out a complex martyrdom operation by detonating an explosive belt in an Israeli occupation force consisting of five soldiers.
As Israeli occupation rescue forces advanced to retrieve the dead and wounded from the scene, al-Qassam resistance fighters sniped two soldiers from the force and fired a number of Israeli-made grenades at them in the Tel al-Zaatar area, east of the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
For its part, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, announced the destruction of an Israeli occupation military vehicle by detonating a Thaqib barrel bomb during an incursion south of the return towers in Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip.
Additionally, the forces of Martyr Omar al-Qassem, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, shelled with mortar shells a command and control headquarters of the IOF in the Netzarim axis, in the center of the Gaza Strip.
IOF storm Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, set fire to premises
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) conducted Friday a harrowing assault on Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, setting five of its sections on fire after raiding it, abducting patients and medical staff, and forcing them to take their clothes off.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the fire had begun spreading to all buildings of the hospital, adding that the occupation forces burned the operations and surgery sections, as well as the laboratory, maintenance, and emergency units.
In an alarming escalation, the IOF launched an airstrike in the vicinity of the hospital, after storming its premises and forcibly displacing 300 patients. Many of these patients, who were dependent on life-saving medical devices, were left in the open, exposed to the harsh cold, further endangering their fragile health.
The IOF also thoroughly searched the patients and medical staff, adding to their trauma.
After forcibly displacing the patients and hospital staff, the IOF abducted the patients, along with residents from surrounding areas, and gathered them in the yard of al-Fakhoura School amid harsh weather conditions.
The move has been condemned as a grave violation of international humanitarian law, highlighting the Israeli military's disregard for the sanctity of medical facilities and the welfare of the vulnerable in Gaza.
