Israel killed at least 52 people in the last day, continuing to attack civilians, hitting two schools in Gaza City
Israel is still attacking homes and schools across the Gaza Strip, killing and injuring several people just a day after dozens were massacred in an attack on the Nuseirat camp.
Attacks in the early hours of Saturday killed four members of the Saadallah family in their home in Jabalia, two people in a school northeast of Gaza City and one person sheltering in a tent south of Khan Younis, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
Later that day, the military killed seven people in an attack on the Al-Majida Wasila School in the Al-Rimal neighborhood north of Gaza City, according to Wafa.
The news agency also reported a drone attack on a group of civilians at the Jalaa junction, northwest of Gaza City, that killed one woman and injured several others. Another civilian was killed in an airstrike west of the Al-Nuseirat camp.
Five more citizens were injured in a drone attack in the Al-Mawasi area, west of the city of Rafah.
‘Constant attack’
The attacks came just a day after Israel killed at least 36 people, most of them from the al-Sheikh Ali family in the Nuseirat refugee camp, drawing widespread condemnation.
In northern Gaza, which has been under an even tighter siege for the past two months, Israeli forces blew up buildings and burned dozens of homes in and around Beit Lahiya, while firing at Kamal Adwan Hospital, according to Wafa.
Reporting from Deir el-Balah, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum mentioned intensified nighttime attacks on Kamal Adwan Hospital, near Beit Lahiya, the previous day, which left medical staff injured and an ambulance set on fire.
The Israeli army, he said, was trying to take the ambulances out of service.
“At the same time, they are trying to put more pressure on the medical teams who are still stuck at Kamal Adwan Hospital,” he said.
The director of the hospital’s intensive care unit was killed in a drone strike last month.
Ethnic cleansing?
Abu Azzoum also said that Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon in the north of the Strip were “under constant attack by Israeli ground forces, which [continuaram] operations for more than 17 days so far.”
Israel has imposed a total siege on several neighborhoods in northern Gaza, prompting accusations that it is trying to permanently displace Palestinians and carry out ethnic cleansing in the area.
Muhannad Hadi, the United Nations humanitarian coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territory, condemned in a statement on Friday the “rapidly deteriorating humanitarian and security situation” in Gaza.
“In recent days, several attacks in the Gaza Strip have resulted in dozens of deaths and several injuries,” he said.
“Women and children remain among the victims. Such incidents are further reminders of the unbearable human cost of conflict.”
