Escalating Conflict: Hospital at Heart of Gaza Strikes

The Gaza Strip faced deadly military strikes, with a hospital at the epicenter. Israel accused militants of hiding within the hospital. Health officials refuted the claims amidst ongoing conflict, with the death toll rising sharply. Calls for international intervention to protect medical facilities grow louder.

Amid escalating violence in the Gaza Strip, recent Israeli military strikes have claimed at least 30 Palestinian lives, particularly impacting the northern region.

A major focal point of the conflict has been Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, where an Israeli strike torched medical supplies, disrupting operations. Israel accused Hamas of using the hospital for military purposes, a claim denied by health officials and Hamas alike. Israeli forces have reportedly detained around 100 suspected militants in the area.

In response, the Gaza health ministry urgently called for international bodies to protect medical facilities and staff. Organizations like Médecins Sans Frontières highlighted the dire conditions faced by medical professionals amid the violence. The conflict's death toll continues to surge as pleas for global intervention grow.
