Reports indicate that casualties have arisen due to relentless artillery shelling north of Al-Nuseirat camp and east of Khuza’a town in Khan Yunis, located in the southern Gaza Strip. Concurrently, occupation forces’ vehicles discharged heavy gunfire in the Tal Al-Hawa area, and Israeli naval vessels targeted regions around Al-Alam roundabout, Ezbet Al-Nada, and Al-Firdaws to the west of Rafah.
In another development, Israeli military forces have reportedly targeted Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip. According to sources, the attack involved the deployment of over 10 bombs from drones, in addition to the use of three explosive robots around the hospital’s perimeter. The facility is currently experiencing a total power outage and is facing a critical shortage of medicines and medical supplies, a situation exacerbated by continuous shelling and an ongoing blockade.
