Israel-Hamas war rages as Gaza deaths mount
Israel struck several locations across Gaza on Tuesday as residents continued to search for survivors after an intense night of bombardments.
In the north, two strikes hit near Al Wafa’a Hospital in Gaza City, a live broadcast feed from Al Jazeera showed.
The live feed showed one strike near the entrance of the hospital and a big cloud of smoke rising before a second strike hit near that location, and the sound of a jet flying overhead.
Several injured people were seen being taken to the hospital, according to the live feed.
“Al Wafa’a Hospital did not receive any prior warning to the strike from the Israeli forces,” the head of the hospital Fouad Najm told Al Jazeera.
In southern Gaza, several strikes hit Khan Younis, according to a CNN journalist who saw the impacts. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said a “populated” house in Al-Amal neighborhood in Khan Yunis was targeted.
“This house is located across from Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis, which shelters more than 4,000 displaced people from northern Gaza. This attack caused dust to scatter inside the hospital and shelter center, leaving citizens in a state of panic and extreme fear,” the Palestinian Red Crescent said.
A strike near a shopping center in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza caused deaths and injuries, the Palestinian Ministry of Interior said.
Videos on social media showed people in panic and the injured being transported in shopping carts.
In Deir Al Balah in central Gaza, residents continued digging through the rubble looking for missing family members after an airstrike on the area, according to a journalist who witnessed the scene.
The Israel Defense Forces said earlier Tuesday it had bombed more than 400 “terror targets,” in the past day, killing “several Hamas commanders and numerous operatives.”
