Deadly Israeli strike on hospital tent camp in Gaza

At least four people have died as a result of an Israeli airstrike on a hospital courtyard in the Gaza Strip, and dozens have been injured, according to Palestinian doctors, who claim they have severe burns from the explosion.

When the airstrike early on Monday hit and the fire that engulfed many of the tents, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, in the city’s central city of Deir el-Balah, was already struggling to treat a sizable number of injured victims of an earlier attack on a school-turned-shelter nearby that left at least 20 people dead.

According to hospital records, there were more than 70 injuries and four fatalities. According to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, 25 people received treatment at the Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza after suffering severe burns.

As rescue teams scramble to save survivors, an increase in the death toll is anticipated.

The Israeli military claimed to have attacked fighters who were hiding among civilians, but it had not provided any proof of their presence. It has repeatedly alleged that Hamas was using crowded shelters and tent camps as staging areas for attacks in recent months.

As part of its second-year genocide against Palestinians, Israel is still carrying out daily strikes across Gaza. In the north, it’s forces are engaged in a significant ground assault.
