On Wednesday March 27, day 174 of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the Israeli occupation forces committed eight massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, killing 81 civilians and 93 injuries during the past 24 hours, bringing the total toll of the Israeli aggression to 32,490 killed and 74,889 injured. The Israeli death toll is just over 800 soldiers killed (300 on October 7th, and 500 during the six-month long invasion and destruction of all parts of Gaza), and 800 civilians killed on October 7th, 2023, in a surprise cross-border attack by the armed wing of the Hamas party, the Izz el-Deen Brigades.
The Israeli siege of Nasser Hospital and the Al-Amal Hospital (run by the Red Crescent Society) led to the two hospitals being taken completely out of service, and the ongoing military occupation of Al-Shifa Hospital continued for the tenth straight day. Eyewitnesses reported that the Israeli military has been carrying out executions, arrests, abuse and forced displacement of the patients, staff and civilians who had sought refuge at the hospital.

After having besieged and taken over the al-Shifa Hospital in central Gaza for over a week, and forcing the Al-Amal Hospital in south-central Gaza out of commission, Israeli forces on Wednesday have now launched a full-on attack on the staff and patients at Al-Nasser Hospital.
Al-Amal Hospital, run by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Khan Younis, is now out of service after dozens of soldiers, who surrounded it for a month, invaded it, and forcibly evacuated everybody in the facility on Tuesday.
A number of Palestinians were killed and others were injured, at dawn on Wednesday, in a series of Israeli raids and artillery shelling when the occupation forces stormed the Nasser Medical Complex, west of Khan Younis, and arrested medical staff and displaced people from inside and around the hospital.
Health sources in the Gaza Strip announced the death of at least three civilians and the injuries of dozens of others after an Israeli shelling targeted two houses in Khirbet al-Adas and the Al-Sha’out neighborhood in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah.
The sources added that the Israeli occupation forces stormed the Nasser Medical Complex, west of Khan Yunis, and demanded a number of medical staff and displaced people, noting that those forces shot at displaced young men after ordering them to evacuate the medical complex.
On the fifteenth of last February, the Israeli occupation forces stormed the Nasser Medical Complex, and turned it into a military barracks, after demolishing the southern wall, and entering it amid heavy gunfire.
Israeli boats shelled the beach of Nuseirat refugee camp, while artillery shelled the western areas of Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip.
The vicinity of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, west of Gaza City, witnessed clashes and Israeli artillery shelling, which resulted in the death of a number of wounded martyrs.

The toll of the continuous Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October rose to 32,414 killed and 74,787 injuries, while thousands of victims are still under rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them.
