CAIRO: The areas near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and Al-Quds Hospital in the western part of the Gaza Strip have been shelled by Israel's air force, Palestine's WAFA news agency reported.
According to its sources, airstrikes were delivered on the premises of Al-Shifa Hospital where the majority of medical personnel and wounded individuals were located.
The news agency’s sources suggested that the strikes aimed to hinder the operations of the healthcare system.
Tensions flared up again in the Middle East on October 7 when militants from the Gaza-based Palestinian radical group Hamas staged a surprise incursion into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip. Hamas described its attack as a response to the aggressive actions of Israeli authorities against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City. In response, Israel has declared a state of war readiness; announced a total blockade of the Gaza Strip, home to 2.3 million Palestinians; and began delivering air strikes on the enclave and certain parts of Lebanon and Syria. Clashes are underway in the West Bank as well.
