On Thursday, one Palestinian doctor and her daughter were killed in her home, and four medics were killed after the Israeli Airforce fired missiles at Palestinian ambulances in the Gaza Strip.
Media sources said the army fired missiles at an ambulance in the Abraj An-Nada area in Beit Hanoun in the northern part of the coastal region.
They added that three medics were killed in the attack, and several Palestinians were injured.
A fourth medic was killed by an Israeli missile during rescue operations of Palestinians in homes and areas bombarded by the Israeli army in Gaza City.
In related news, the Health Ministry in Gaza issued a statement mourning Dr. Sirin Al-Attar and her daughter, who were killed in the Israeli bombing of homes in Al-Boreij, in central Gaza.
The Health Ministry added that rescue teams are facing enormous difficulties in extracting corpses of slain Palestinians from under the rubber of bombarded homes and buildings, especially since the army is still bombing Gaza.
It also said that, on the fifth day of the Israeli offensive on Gaza, the number of slain Palestinians has reached 1055, in addition to 5184 wounded Palestinians.
The Ministry stated that half of the slain Palestinians and %60 of the wounded are women and children and that the Israeli missiles have obliterated 22 families.
