Hamas gunman among 5 killed in an Israeli air strike at Gaza Hospital

Israel said that an Israeli air strike in a Gaza hospital on Sunday killed five people, including a political leader in Hamas, the Palestinian paramedics and Hamas, in an attack, which Israel said had targeted a major figure in the armed group.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the strike struck the surgery department at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. The Israeli army said that its attack after widespread intelligence and used accurate ammunition to reduce the damage to the site.

Hamas said that one of his political office members, Ismail Barhoum, had been killed.

Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, confirmed that the goal was Barahoum. The army did not mention the target, which he described only as a “major terrorist” in Hamas.

Hamas TV said that Barhoum was treated in the hospital due to the wounds that continued in a previous attack. Israel says Hamas is systematically enlarged in hospitals, schools and shelters that the group denies.

Reports of escalating attacks

After two months of relative calm, Ghazan escaped again for their lives after Israel has effectively abandoned the ceasefire, as it launched a comprehensive new air campaign on Tuesday against Hamas.

Another leader in Hamas, Salah BardailHamas said earlier, he was killed in a separate blow in Khan Yunis. The Israeli army confirmed that it was killed on Saturday.

Bardaweel and Barhoum have been members of the 19 -member Decision Resolution, Hamas, and the Political Office, which 11 of them have been killed since the beginning of the war in late 2023, according to Hamas sources.

The explosions were echoed throughout the Gaza Strip in the north, central and southern Gaza early on Sunday, as Israeli aircraft hit targets in those areas, while witnesses said it was an escalation of the attacks that started earlier in the week.

The Israeli army said on Sunday that the indication that its actions may escalate more.

She distributed a video of the tanks that were unloaded in a field and an illustrative designation that says: “The preparations of the thirty -sixth section of operations in the Gaza Strip.”

The health authorities said that at least 45 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes on his Rafah and Khan Yunis so far on Sunday.

“Horrific loss in life”

On Sunday, Palestinian officials put the death toll from about 18 months of conflict with more than 50,000.

The Israeli army said it was doing its best to reduce harm to civilians and interrogate the number of deaths made by the health authorities in the Hamas region.

Most of the dead in Gaza were civilians, according to health officials. Israel says it includes about 20,000 fighters. Hamas does not reveal injuries.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the aim of the war is to destroy Hamas as a military entity and a rule. He said on Tuesday that the aim of the new campaign is to force the group to abandon the remaining hostages.

A Foreign Ministry spokesman said that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Netanyahu “to emphasize American support for Israel.” They discussed Israel’s continuous military operations in Gaza, and the efforts to bring hostages to the home and strikes against the Iranian Houthi militants, supported by Iranian in Yemen.

Israel launched its attack in Gaza after Hamas fighters stormed in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took more than 250 hostages, according to the Israeli.

“The military attack of Israel caused a horrific loss of lives,” said Kaja Calas, head of the European Union Foreign Policy. “As long as this war continues, both sides lose.”

Class added that Israel should respect civil spirits and that threats to include parts of Gaza were unacceptable.

Hamas accused Israel of violating the conditions of the ceasefire agreement in January, but said it was still ready to negotiate the ceasefire and was studying proposals from US President Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkev.

Rafah neighborhood Tatouq

Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adri issued a warning to evacuate residents in the Tal Al -Sultan neighborhood in West Rafah.

The army said that the forces have surrounded Tel Sultan to dismantle “the infrastructure sites of terrorism and the elimination of terrorists in the region,” in order to enhance control and expand the security zone in southern Gaza.

She said that the soldiers were allowed to evacuate civilians from the fighting area through organized roads for their safety.

Dozens of families left their homes in Tel Al -Sultan heading north to Khan Yunis, some on foot, while others carried their property and children on donkeys and vehicles.

“When the ceasefire began, we went back to putting tents next to the ruins of our homes, and I dreamed that our homes would soon be rebuilt.”

“Now we are running under fire for the tenth time, when will we relax from ever? When will there be peace in this city?” He told Reuters via the chat application.

The Palestinian Civil Emergency Service said that 50,000 people remained trapped in Rafah after they were surprised by the cave of the Israeli army in their areas, and they warned against their lives and people with danger.

UNRWA warns of the “acute hunger crisis”

Palestinian and international officials also warned of the risk of a new hunger crisis.

“Every day without an inch of food, Gaza is approaching the severe hunger crisis. Bringing aid is a collective punishment on Gaza: the vast majority of its inhabitants are children, women and ordinary men.”

On March 2, Israel prevented the entry of goods into Gaza and the advisor to foreign policy in Netanyahu, Ober Falk, accused Hamas of helping its own use, a charge that had previously denied Hamas.
