In Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the army killed at least three Palestinians and injured many after firing a missile at a home in the Nasr town, east of the city.
The army also fired a missile at a home for the Zo’rob family, in the Nasr area east of Rafah, killing seven Palestinians and wounding several others.
Two Palestinians were killed and several others were injured by Israeli missiles targeting two homes for the Sabbah and Affana families in Sikka Street, east of Jabalia, in northern Gaza.
The Palestinians located the corpses of the two Palestinians, evacuated the wounded residents, and are looking for many who remain under the rubble, while the resulting fire continues to ravage the bombarded homes amidst efforts to extinguish it.
The army also fired missiles at several areas and buildings in the Tal Az-Za’tar area, in northern Gaza, causing many casualties.
The Israeli army bombed many parts of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, killing and wounding several Palestinians, including children.
In addition, the conditions at the Nasser Medical Center in Khan Younis remain disastrous, especially after the army bombed it before storming its facilities and forcing 95 staff, eleven members of their families, 191 patients, and 165 members of their families and dozens of displaced Palestinians into the old building of the facility without food and milk for the children, in addition to the lack of water.
The besieged hospital, which was also repeatedly bombed, continues to witness serious shortages in medical supplies and the fuel needed to run its power generators, an issue that poses serious risks to the lives of the patients, including six hooked to respiratory machines in the ICU, three infants in incubators and twenty in the surgery ward.
The Israeli army also started demolishing the walls surrounding Nasser Medical Center before invading it.
One of the wounded at the Nasser Medical Center is Dr. Mohammad Abu Lihya, who along with Dr. Amira Al-Asouli, were trying to help and wounded Palestinians.
It is worth mentioning that, earlier Thursday, the Israeli army fired many live rounds at a room where the doctors rest in the hospital, wounding one doctor, medical sources said.
