Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza has confirmed that Israeli air raids are continuing in an unprecedented manner on the Gaza Strip, mainly targeting Gaza and its suburbs after completely cutting off the internet and phone networks in the strip.
Our correspondent also confirmed that electricity has been cut off from Al-Shifa Hospital after a strike targeted the hospital’s vicinity during the bombing of the Gaza Strip.
Press correspondents in the Gaza Strip have indicated that this bombing was the heaviest in the last 30 days, with 100 raids and shells befalling the Al-Shati camp alone within a half hour.

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reported on Thursday that the Israeli media had acknowledged dropping 10,000 bombs on the Strip since the beginning of the aggression on October 7.
The international organization said the quantity of explosives launched on Gaza exceeds 25,000 tons at a rate of 70 tons per square kilometer, noting that this amount of explosives is equivalent to twice the power of the US nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
The spokesperson for the Gaza Ministry of Health said on Sunday that the Israeli occupation has committed 24 massacres in just the past 24 hours, resulting in 243 martyrs as the aggression on Gaza continued for one month now.
"The occupation set a record in the number of massacres committed, in which children and women were killed," Ashraf al-Qudra said, pointing out that "it has been conducting a genocide and ethnic cleansing for 30 days" since the start of the aggression on October 7.
He noted that the number of martyrs has risen to 9,770, including 4,800 children and 2,550 women.
Due to the violent Israeli bombardment and complete blockade, approximately 16 hospitals, 32 primary care centers, 27 ambulances, and 105 medical facilities have been damaged or went out of service.
Israeli cruelty and aggression have not been limited to Gaza only but have extended to Lebanese citizens as well. The Israeli Occupation Forces targeted a civilian car on Lebanese territories using precision munition claiming the lives of three children and putting their grandmother in the hospital with serious injuries.
The munition was launched from a drone directly targeting the car, in Ainata, Southern Lebanon, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
