33 killed, 3 hospitals targeted in Israeli strikes on northern Gaza
At least 33 people were killed and dozens of others were wounded in Israeli airstrikes that hit several homes in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza overnight Saturday, according to Gaza Civil Defense and Gaza’s Hamas-run Media Office. Three of the four functioning hospitals in North Gaza were targeted by Israeli tanks and troops, according to medical staff and the Gaza ministry of health.
IDF vehicles surrounded the Indonesian Hospital, firing at the main entrance as well as the upper floors of the hospital, resulting in a complete power outage and the failure of its generator, according to the director of the hospital. The hospital is treating about 40 patients and the health ministry said the patients and medical staff are trapped in the hospital.
The entrance to Kamal Adwan Hospital's medical lab was hit with an airstrike -- killing one person and injuring several others. Al Awda Hospital was shelled with artillery, according to the ministry of health.
The IDF said its "troops eliminated several terrorists in close-quarters encounters and IAF strikes" in the Jabalia area. ABC News has asked for comment about the attacks on hospitals but the IDF has not commented so far.
The fourth hospital in Jabalia, Al Yemen Al Saeed, was bombed on Oct. 9.
The Israeli siege on the Jabalia refugee camp has entered its fifteenth day, with over 400 people killed -- including women, children and the elderly -- and hundreds more wounded, according to Gaza’s Civil Defense.
