There has been no prompt comment on the strike from Israel’s military, which began a recent impolite in the area earlier this month after saying Hamas was regrouping there.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been operating in northern Gaza during the past two weeks, particularly in the areas of Jabalia, Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun.

“There is noleang left in the Kamal Adwan Hospital except first help materials after the army arrested our medical team and toilers,” Abu Safia shelp.
The IDF rhelped the hospital last week, saying it was being employd by Hamas fighters.

The northern Gaza Strip faces a transport inantening humanitarian crisis, with hundreds of thousands of people living in frantic conditions.
UN human rights chief Volker Türk shelp on Friday that “the Israeli military is subjecting an entire population to explosioning, siege and hazard of starvation”.
He also shelp it was unhugable that Palestinian armed groups were alertedly operating among civilians, including inside shelters for the displaced, and putting them in harm’s way.

Israel begined a campaign to raze Hamas in response to the group’s unpwithdrawnted attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were finished and 251 others were achieven captive.
