Since resuming its war on Gaza after the ceasefire, Israel has now launched a large ground assault in northern and southern Gaza. On the same day, Israeli airstrikes killed at least 144 people across the region.
Israeli jets bombed a tent camp sheltering displaced people in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis. Medics said that the strike killed at least 36 people and injured over 100. Confirmed videos from the scene showed many bodies, some burning. Rescue teams rushed the injured and dead to a field hospital and the Nasser Medical Complex.
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli strikes killed 135 more people. Among them, 42 died in northern Gaza. Also, five journalists were killed when bombs hit their homes.
In the past week, Israel killed 464 Palestinians as it prepared for a wider invasion. Gaza’s Ministry of Health said the war, which started in October 2023, has killed 53,339 people and injured 121,034.
The Israeli army confirmed it started “Operation Gideon’s Chariots.” Regular and reserve troops under the Southern Command are leading the ground attack. The Air Force is backing them. The military said it hit over 670 locations in Gaza this week. It claimed all were “Hamas targets” above and below ground. But Israel faces accusations of hitting civilians, including families who had already fled.
Israeli attacks also forced three major hospitals out of service. On Sunday, the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza shut down after Israeli forces surrounded it in the early morning. Hospital director Marwan al-Sultan called the situation “catastrophic” and asked for help to protect medical staff.
Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya, director of al-Shifa Hospital, said the attack on the Indonesian Hospital is making it harder for patients to survive.
