Urgent | Source at the Baptist Hospital: 7 dead in a strike from an Israeli drone targeting Palestinians in the square of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City.

In a new tragic incident, 7 Palestinians were killed in an airstrike by an Israeli drone that targeted a gathering of civilians in the courtyard of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City. This attack comes at a time when the sector is suffering from worsening humanitarian crises due to the ongoing siege and aggression.

Medical sources from the Baptist Hospital confirmed that the martyrs were civilians who were present in the courtyard, as they were directly targeted by the drone. The incident sparked a wave of anger and condemnation among citizens who called on the international community to intervene to stop these assaults.

The city of Gaza is witnessing an escalation in airstrikes by the occupying army, with air raids significantly increasing in recent days, resulting in many dead and injuries. These attacks repeatedly target civilian areas, exacerbating the suffering of the residents.

Many activists and analysts considered that this incident reflects the occupation's policy of targeting civilians, as calls for accountability for the occupation's crimes against humanity have increased. They also pointed out that the international community must bear its responsibilities towards protecting civilians in Gaza.

Under these circumstances, the residents of Gaza face significant challenges in accessing healthcare and basic services, as hospitals are suffering from a severe shortage of resources due to the siege. This attack increases the pressure on an already struggling healthcare system.

Calls from Palestinian factions for unity in the face of aggression continue, emphasizing the need to strengthen popular resistance against the occupation. This incident may also lead to greater escalation in confrontations between Palestinians and the occupying army.
