On Saturday, day 386 of Israel’s ongoing and relentless genocide against the entire civilian population of the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces continued their 22-day long siege on Jabalia in northern Gaza, and continued their forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from northern Gaza.
Update – 23:59 pm Saturday October 26th
At least 45 more civilians were killed in the afternoon and evening on Saturday by U.S.-funded Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, in addition to the continuation of the assault on Kamal Adwan Hospital, its patients, doctors and nursing staff that has continued for two days.
More than 35 Palestinians were killed, including women and children, and others were injured when the Israeli occupation aircraft bombed a residential area containing at least five houses near the western roundabout in the town of Beit Lahia, belonging to the Abu Shadaq, Al-Masry, and Salman families.
In addition, local sources reported that 10 Palestinians were killed and others were injured, in addition to a number of missing persons, as a result of the Israeli occupation bombing of the Ghabayen family home, which is inhabited by displaced persons from the Kahlout family in the Beit Lahia project, amidst appeals to rescue them.
The destruction on the grounds of the Kamal Adwan Hospital is severe, leaving the hospital virtually inoperable – particularly since hundreds of staff, patients and internally displaced refugees were forcibly removed yesterday by the Israeli military and taken to unknown destinations.

It is likely that male hospital staff and patients who were forced to strip yesterday and paraded off by the Israeli military are likely being taken to the Sde Teiman torture camp, where at least 54 Palestinian prisoners have died of torture by Israeli interrogators, although that number is likely much higher, since there is no documentation of who has been abducted to the prison, and Israel has several times over the past few months dumped truckloads of unidentified Palestinian bodies into Gaza.
Since October 5 (the past twenty one days), the Israeli occupation forces have continued their ground invasion and violent bombardment of various areas in the northern Gaza Strip, while continuing their efforts to empty the area of its residents through forced evacuation and displacement.
The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, which has resulted in the killing of 42,924 Palestinians and the injury of 100,833 others, the majority of whom are children and women, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of people are still missing under the rubble.

According to the Health Ministry in Gaza,The Israeli occupation forces have abducted male medical staff in Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip after forcing them to strip and kneel in the sun for hours, in addition to a number of wounded and sick people inside the hospital, and detained all the female staff in a room inside the hospital without water or food.
On Saturday before dawn, three Palestinians were killed and others were injured in Israeli warplanes’ shelling of Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to the most heinous massacres, ethnic cleansing and forced displacement for 22 days.
Five Palestinians were killed as a result of the Israeli occupation bombing of a minibus west of Gaza City.
Medical sources announced the killing of three Palestinians and the injury of others in the occupation’s bombing of a number of houses in Jabalia and Al-Nazla.
The Israeli occupation army continues to commit daily massacres of Palestinian civilians in the northern Gaza Strip, specifically in Jabalia, as the Israeli assault on all of the Gaza Strip enters its 386th day.
Since before dawn Saturday, the occupation forces have been blowing up residential buildings around the Al-Faluja Cemetery in Jabalia camp, while Israeli gunboats are firing towards the coast of Gaza City.
Due to the continued aerial and artillery bombardment, rescue crews were unable to respond to the calls and pleas of dozens of Palestinians whose homes were bombed and burned in the towns of Jabalia and Al-Nazla.
Meanwhile, the occupation artillery is shelling heavily the center of the Nuseirat camp, in the middle of the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Civil Defense announced today, Saturday, that it is unable to respond to distress calls from citizens in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, whose homes were bombed and burned due to the forced cessation of its operations by Israeli attacks, amid ongoing extermination and ethnic cleansing for 22 days.
It stated: “We cannot respond to numerous calls and appeals from residential homes that were bombed and burned by Israeli forces in the town of Jabalia and the Nazla area in northern Gaza.”
In a statement, it added: “The Civil Defense is completely shut down due to the continuous targeting and aggression by Israeli forces in northern Gaza.”
Last Wednesday, the Civil Defense announced that the Israeli army had disrupted its services, targeted its crews, and threatened workers with direct targeting if they attempted to use their vehicles for rescue and relief operations.

Palestinians line up for lentil soup in Dir al-Balah, central Gaza:
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said that the rate of evacuating children from the Gaza Strip for medical reasons decreased from 296 to 22 children per month, following Israel’s control of the Rafah border gate on May 7 .
“The rate of evacuating children from Gaza at the present time is less than one child per day , ” UN spokesman James Elder said during a press conference held at the UN office in Geneva yesterday.
“If this deadly slow pace continues, it will take more than 7 years to evacuate 2,500 children in need of urgent medical care ,” he added.
The UN official stressed that children in Gaza are not only dying because of bombs and bullets, but also because they do not receive the necessary medical care.
Israeli occupation forces have continued their aggression, by land, sea and air, on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, which has resulted in the killing of at least 43,552 Palestinians, the majority of whom are women and children, and the injury of 106,662 others, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 17,029 children, 11,585 women, 2,421 elderly people, 177 journalists, 85 emergency responders, 986 medical staff, and 203 UNRWA staff.
The British Lancet Medical Journal and other experts estimate the death toll in Gaza is much higher – and could be above 200,000, when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza.
This most recent escalation of Israel’s ongoing military occupation of Palestine began October 7th 2023 when 1,143 Israelis were killed, including 767 civilians and 376 armed soldiers. Around 500 Israeli soldiers have been killed between October 7th and now – both in Gaza and on the Israeli border with Lebanon.
