Six Dead After Hospitals Hit in Israeli Strikes on Northern Gaza
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – At least six people were killed and numerous others injured in Israeli attacks on northern Gaza on Saturday, according to Palestinian sources.
Medical sources reported that four individuals were killed and over 15 wounded when an Israeli airstrike struck a home in the Tuba area of the Jabalia refugee camp.
In a separate incident, the Palestinian civil defense confirmed two more deaths and seven injuries from another airstrike on a home belonging to the Saeedi family in the same area.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza stated that Israeli artillery targeted the upper floors of the Indonesian Hospital, where more than 40 patients and medical staff were present.
The hospital's power supply was disrupted, putting lives at risk—particularly those of patients reliant on oxygen machines.
Marwan Sultan, the hospital director, described the critical situation, saying that 30 patients had been injured, with 10 urgently needing oxygen support, warning that "their lives are at risk if the power outage continues."
Israeli artillery fire also struck a group of displaced civilians gathered outside the hospital, causing further casualties, according to witnesses.
The area around the hospital, which shelters thousands of displaced civilians, remains surrounded by Israeli forces, witnesses added.
Elsewhere, the al-Awda Hospital in the Tel al-Zaatar area of Jabalia also came under artillery fire, just hours after the attack on the Indonesian Hospital.
The ongoing Israeli genocidal war has resulted in more than 42,400 deaths in Gaza since October last year.
