Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza confirmed on Tuesday morning the arrival of the bodies of eight martyrs and several wounded at al-Nasser Hospital, following intense airstrikes in eastern Rafah and Khan Younis.
The correspondent reported that multiple casualties were recorded in Abasan and Khuza'a in Khan Younis, highlighting that rescue teams were unable to reach the injured. He further noted that hospitals in Khan Younis were overwhelmed and unable to accommodate more casualties, emphasizing the dire conditions of the displaced in Khan Younis, where many children slept outdoors.
Additionally, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that this morning the occupation renewed its raids on the north of the Nuseirat camp and the areas surrounding Netzarim, as well as on Tell al-Hawa southwest of Gaza City. Intensive artillery and airstrikes have also targeted the Nuseirat over the past hours.
Meanwhile, fierce confrontations persisted between the Resistance and the occupation in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood east of Gaza City. Our correspondent confirmed that dozens of families are besieged by the occupation in the neighborhood.
At dawn, occupation aircraft conducted a raid on the Shuja'iyya neighborhood, accompanied by continuous artillery shelling. Simultaneously, a series of raids targeted the town of Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis.
50 detainees released on Monday
On Monday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Gaza Strip confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) released 50 detainees from the Gaza Strip, including the chief of al-Shifa Medical Complex, Mohammad Abu Salmiya.
The IOF detained the Palestinian at the Kuwait checkpoint with another surgeon on November 23, 2023, subjecting him to severe torture and humiliating treatment because he refused to record a video accusing the Resistance of turning the hospital into an alleged "military barracks and combat operations rooms."
Abu Salmiya said in a statement, upon his release, "What detainees are currently going through, the Palestinian people have not seen since the Nakba," adding that "hundreds of medical staff have been targeted by occupation, some detainees were murdered under torture." He stressed that "detainees are enduring tragic conditions due to lack of food and water."
