It added that the surgeons at the European Hospital, southeast of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, have determined that he needs surgery to stop the bleeding, and added that Ismael also requires many units of blood.
The Israeli missile also caused Omar to lose his right leg, various injuries to his left leg above the knee, and several parts of his body.
A surgeon at the medical facility told Al-Jazeera that Ismael’s condition is critical and that the doctors are facing numerous difficulties in treating him, especially due to the lack of medical supplies as a result of the continued Israeli bombing and the siege.
Al-Jazeera added that cameraman Ahmad Matar, who was injured in the attack is also in a serious condition at the Intensive Care Unit. Matar underwent surgery to remove shrapnel from his head.
At least six Palestinians, including children were killed and 25 were injured, some seriously, when the army fired missiles and shells at a residential bloc in the Nusseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza.
The army also bombarded and destroyed many homes and buildings in Gaza City, especially in its western parts, causing massive destruction and many casualties.
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli army killed Palestinian political analyst Dr. Ayman al-Rafati in a targeted airstrike in Gaza. Dr. Rafati was interviewed by Al-Jazeera the night before.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the Israeli army “committed eleven massacres against Palestinian families in Gaza, Wednesday, killing 103 and wounding 145, mainly women and children.”
The Palestinian Health Ministry said Israel has now killed more than 28.473 Palestinians and injured more than 68.146, including women and children, since October 7, 2023, in addition to more than 8.000 who remain missing, largely buried under the rubble.
