PALESTINE – At least 33 Palestinian civilians were on Monday killed and many others injured as Israeli bombardment across Gaza Strip continues.

The civil defense teams retrieved the bodies of 10 people in Al-Nasr Street of Gaza City.

Four people were killed in an Israeli strike on a tent sheltering displaced families in western Gaza City.

The Israeli army also shelled the Zeitoun neighborhood in the same city, killing five people and injuring several family members.

Another Palestinian lost his life in an airstrike in the same city.

The Israeli army also shelled a house in the city’s Al-Sabra neighborhood, injuring several people.

Israeli quadcopter drones dropped bombs on homes and residential buildings in the Al-Sabra and Al-Rimal neighborhoods in Gaza City, but no information was yet available about casualties.

The army targeted the vicinity of Al-Shifa Medical Complex in the same city, blocking access to the hospital as part of efforts to besiege the area and force residents to flee southward, Wafa reported.

The army continued to carry out the detonation of booby-trapped vehicles in the Shati refugee camp, where dozens of civilians lost their lives due to ongoing aerial and ground offensives targeting the camp for days, under a plan to fully occupy the city.

In the central Gaza Strip, one person was killed and nine others were injured when the Israeli army targeted a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians north of Nuseirat refugee camp.

Israeli Army Shells Al-Helou Hospital in Gaza City

The Israeli army targeted another hospital in the Gaza Strip, disrupting medical services, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

“The Israeli army shelled Al-Helou Hospital in Gaza City with two missiles, making the entry to or exit from the hospital impossible,” the director of the Health Ministry Media Office, Ismail Al-Thawabta, told Anadolu on Sunday.

“Doctors and patients inside the hospital are living in a state of terror and severe fear, which has been worsened by the occupation’s deliberate cutoff of the hospital’s internet network to isolate it from the outside world and suspend medical services for civilians,” Thawabta said.

The official stressed that such actions by Israel constitute “crimes against humanity,” and a “full-fledged war crime was added to the (Israeli) occupation’s black record.”

At least 38 Gaza hospitals were destroyed or rendered out of service, 96 healthcare centers were targeted, and 197 ambulances were destroyed or damaged by the Israeli army since the start of its genocidal war in October 2023, according to Health Ministry data.

“The (Israeli) occupation also carried out 788 direct attacks on healthcare facilities, staff, and supply chains, and killed 1,670 medical workers while carrying out their humanitarian duty,” the director added.

He pointed out: “These documented figures are not just statistics, but clear evidence of the occupation’s policy of targeting the Palestinian people’s lives, health, and dignity.”

“These crimes will not be forgotten over time,” the official said, as he held Israel and the US fully responsible.

He called on the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities to stop this ongoing crime and protect civilians and the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip.
