The army also bulldozed and demolished a building used as a gathered place for various social occasions for the Al-Aqqad family and 40 Palestinian homes for Palestinians from the family to the west of Khan Younis.
In addition, the Palestinians had to bury forty persons, including children and women, in a mass grave in the yard of Nasser Medical Center in Khan Younis after the army killed them in an earlier bombing of the city.
Furthermore, the soldiers invaded the Al-Kheir hospital, west of Khan Younis, before detaining and interrogating patients and staff.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its lost contact with its teams in Khan Younis, due to ongoing Israeli invasion and bombing, and added that Israeli tanks are near the Al-Amal Hospital it runs in Khan Younis.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said it is “concerned about the continuation of combat near Al-Amal Hospital.”
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli army has been wagging massive bombings on hospitals and placement centers in Khan Younis since early dawn hours Monday, killing at least 50 and wounding dozens before they are moved to Nasser Hospital in the city.
The head of Nasser Medical Center in Khan Younis, Yousef Abu T’eima, said the hospital is filled with seriously wounded Palestinians.
In an interview with Al-Jazeera, Abu T’eima said all intensive care rooms are filled, added that there is no place to transfer the wounded Palestinians outside of Khan Younis, and that the hospital can only cover %3 of the wounded due to Israel’s bombing and destruction, and called for coordination to allow urgently needed medical supplies to reach the hospital.
