No fewer than 39 Palestinians were killed in Israeli military strikes across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, mostly in the north where one attack hit a hospital, torching medical supplies and disrupting operations. This is according to the enclave’s health officials.
Israel’s military has accused the Palestinian militant group, Hamas, of using Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya for military purposes and said ‘dozens of terrorists’ have been hiding there. Hamas deny the charge.
Later on Thursday, an Israeli airstrike on two houses in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza strip killed at least nine Palestinians.
Northern Gaza, where Israel said in January it had dismantled Hamas’ command structure, is currently the main focus of the military’s assault in the enclave. Earlier this month it sent tanks into Jabalia, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahiya to flush out militants it said had regrouped in the area.
