According to information released by the Palestinian agency WAFA, areas near the Al-Shifa Hospital in the city of Gaza and the Al-Quds Hospital in the western sector of Gaza have been targeted by Israeli airstrikes.
It is reported that several rockets were fired at the vicinity of the Al-Shifa Hospital, where a large number of injured individuals and medical personnel are located.
Further details are currently unavailable.
On October 7th, Hamas forces launched thousands of rockets into Israeli territory, declaring the start of the “Flood of Al-Aqsa” operation. Thousands of militants infiltrated Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military vehicles and over a hundred hostages. Against this backdrop, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that the country is in a state of war.
The counter-operation by the Israeli Defense Forces is named “Operation Iron Swords,” with one of its objectives being the destruction of Hamas. The Israeli Air Force has targeted hundreds of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, and the Israeli National Security Council has decided to halt the supply of water, food, goods, electricity, and fuel to the sector. On October 13th, Israel informed the United Nations that 1.1 million Palestinians must evacuate to the south of Gaza within 24 hours in preparation for a ground operation in the area.
Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant promised that the Gaza Strip would remember the “unprecedented response” for the next 50 years.
