GAZA, December 5, 2024 (WAFA) – Two Palestinians Thursday evening were killed in a fresh Israeli airstrike on Kamal Adwan Hospital in the town of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.
Earlier today, the occupation forces targeted the hospital, leaving a boy who was receiving treatment at the hospital dead and injuring 12 patients and medical staff members.
Meanwhile, an Israeli drone conducted an airstrike targeting the perimeter of the hospital, killing a young man in his 30s.
Israel has proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered Israel in a legally binding decision to halt its military offensive in Rafah, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention.
Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least of 44,580 Palestinians and injuring 105,739 others.
Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
