A baby has been pulled out alive from the rubble of a family home in the Jabalia refugee camp, located in northern Gaza after an Israeli strike on Monday.
The area has been under heavy siege for weeks, with intense Israeli airstrikes causing massive destruction. Jabalia has seen a large number of civilian casualties as Israeli forces continue their operations.
In addition to the devastation, there has been mass displacement of the Palestinian population. Israeli settler groups have called for the return of settlements to the region, which has intensified the ongoing conflict.
The Israeli army confirmed that approximately 30 rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel on Monday afternoon.
Sirens were heard in the Upper and Central Galilee areas, and while some rockets were intercepted, others landed in open areas without causing any casualties.
Meanwhile, in northern Gaza, Israeli military forces besieged hospitals and shelters housing displaced civilians, making it difficult for critical aid like food and medicine to reach people in need. Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency, condemned the situation, saying on X (formerly Twitter): “People attempting to flee are getting killed, their bodies left on the street.”
Medics at the Indonesian Hospital reported that Israeli troops stormed a nearby school, detained men, and set the school on fire.
The fire eventually reached the hospital’s generators, causing a power outage. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, shared that two critically wounded patients died due to the lack of medical supplies.
He said, “The hospital’s blood units have run out completely. We are implementing a priority treatment method for patients. This is the reality.”
As the siege continues, more than 42,500 Palestinians have been killed, with another 10,000 believed to be buried under the rubble, according to Gaza health officials. Despite calls for ceasefires and humanitarian aid, the situation remains dire for civilians trapped in the conflict.
