Chief of Nurses and Nursing Supervisor of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the Gaza Strip, Khalil al-Dakran, warned of the complete collapse of the health sector across the Strip as "Israel" continues its genocidal bombing of residential buildings, medical crews, and infrastructure in Gaza.

In statements to Al Mayadeen, al-Dakran said that "the quantities of fuel available in Gaza hospitals are sufficient for limited hours," warning that hospitals will be out of service due to fuel shortage, indicating a health disaster in the Strip.

"كميات الوقود المتوفرة في مستشفيات غزة تكفي لساعات محدودة".

The heavy bombardment of Gaza by the Israeli Occupation Forces resulted in several injuries and martyrs greater than what hospitals in Gaza could accommodate.

As such, al-Dakaran called on the international community to pressure the occupation to open humanitarian corridors to transport critical situations and receive aid.

In addition, the chief of nurses underscored that the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip had led to the killing of around 15 martyrs and the injury of more than 40 ambulance crews due to Israeli targets.

Israeli ground invasion of Gaza delayed due to weather excuse: Report

The Israeli ground invasion, initially scheduled for the weekend, was postponed for a few days, primarily due to adverse weather conditions that would have complicated the task of Israeli pilots and drone operators providing air support to ground forces, The New York Times reported, citing three senior Israeli military officials who provided non-classified information about the operation.

The Israeli military is preparing for a forthcoming invasion of the Gaza Strip. Tens of thousands of troops have been directed "to take control of Gaza City," as per the report.

The military's stated objective is to assassinate the highest-ranking officials within Hamas, added officials.

They stressed that the upcoming ground invasion is anticipated to be the largest ground operation by "Israel" since its 2006 war on Lebanon. In the case that the invasion is carried out, it would be the first invasion since the 2008 invasion of Gaza, where "Israel" intends to expand occupied territories. 

This operation is anticipated to pose the danger of entangling "Israel" in extensive urban warfare, encompassing battles on the surface and within a complex network of tunnels. Such an offensive has historically been avoided by "Israel" due to presented challenges involving combat within a narrow and densely populated strip of land inhabited by over 2 million people.

On Saturday, Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades released a video warning Israeli occupation forces (IOF) against invading the Gaza Strip. The video titled, "This is what awaits you when you enter Gaza," is a stern warning to the IOF as the Brigades displayed some of their defensive tactics and capabilities in case "Israel" decides to proceed with a ground invasion against Gaza.
