The Gaza Strip is experiencing its twenty-eighth day of intense bombing by the Israeli military from air, land, and sea, with the casualty count continuously rising. The Ministry of Health in Gaza, controlled by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced today that at least 9,227 Palestinians have been killed, including 3,826 children, in the Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The ministry reported that among the deceased are 2,405 women, while the number of injured has reached 23,516.
The director of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza warned that the main generator of the hospital has stopped, revealing that electricity has been cut off in some hospital sections due to a fuel shortage. The hospital director urged the displaced and patients to conserve electricity and water, calling on the world to immediately provide fuel supplies to Gaza's hospitals before it's too late.
On the ground, Palestinian media reported that Israeli boats shelled northern areas of Gaza City in the central sector, while the Al-Maghazi refugee camp and Al-Nasr neighborhood in central Gaza were subjected to heavy Israeli bombardment. Israel has renewed its shelling of the Al-Bureij camp in Gaza, and the Israeli army announced today that four soldiers were killed in the ongoing battles within the Gaza Strip, bringing the total number of military fatalities since the start of the ground assault to 23. The Qassam Brigades claimed they killed four Israeli soldiers at point-blank range northwest of Beit Lahiya.
