Gaza war: A new Israeli air strike on Al-Shifa Hospital. The death toll rose to 19,453
The Palestinian News Agency reported on Monday that Israeli aircraft bombed the specialized surgical building at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, explaining that the bombing caused a number of casualties and injuries.
The agency also said that dozens were killed and others were injured in bombing carried out by Israeli aircraft on the eastern and northern areas of Khan Yunis.
In addition, violent explosions rocked the central region of the Gaza Strip.
Israel has continued its attack on Gaza by air, land and sea for 73 days, claiming the lives of about 19,000 Palestinians and wounding more than 52,000 others, 70% of whom are women and children, with an infinite toll.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the number of killed of the Israeli aggression on the Strip since October 7 had risen to 19,453.
The Ministry added in a new census that the number of injured people reached 52,286.
The Ministry indicated that hospitals received during the past hours 151 victims and 313 injured as a result of attacks, the most prominent of which was in Jabalia, where a large number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads.
The ministry said: “Within 6 hours, the occupation forces committed a massacre in Al-Shifa Medical Complex, which led to the death of 26 displaced people and dozens of wounded. Then they targeted a civilian car in front of the gate of the complex that was transporting one of the wounded, which led to the martyrdom of two.”
The ministry accused the Israeli forces of deliberately "liquidating the health presence in northern Gaza by destroying hospitals and arresting their staff. This constitutes the execution of about 800,000 people there."
