GAZA CITY, Palestine / ISTANBUL

The Israeli army continued its genocidal attack in Gaza unabated, with a new attack killing 19 more Palestinians and injuring scores more, medics and the Health Ministry said on Wednesday.

Medical sources told Anadolu that three people, including a woman, were killed and several others injured in an Israeli drone strike on a residential unit in the Tel Hawa neighborhood of western Gaza City.

A Palestinian mother and her child were killed when an Israeli helicopter targeted a residential apartment in the Al-Rimal neighborhood of western Gaza City.

According to medical sources, several children were injured during Israeli airstrikes on the Palestine Stadium in central Gaza City.

Another Israeli airstrike on a tower near a school in the Al-Nafaq neighborhood of the same city injured civilians.

Witnesses told Anadolu that the Israeli army continues to carry out military assaults in Gaza City, detonating booby-trapped robots between homes and residential buildings in southern Gaza City and the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in the north.

On Tuesday, the Israeli army announced a new phase of its ground offensive in Gaza City as part of a broader strategy to reoccupy the entire city. However, local sources confirm that no ground incursion had taken place.

Meanwhile, Israeli artillery and airstrikes were intensified, forcing residents to flee to the south, witnesses said.

In the central Gaza Strip, a pregnant woman, her husband, and child were killed, and others were injured in Israeli airstrikes on a home in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

The Israeli army shelled a multistory residential tower in the camp, injuring many civilians.

In southern Gaza, five people, including a Palestinian couple and their child, were killed when Israeli warplanes hit a tent sheltering displaced civilians in a refugee camp in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis.

A Palestinian child was killed in the fire opened by Israeli military vehicles in Al-Mawasi.

According to witnesses, the southern and central parts of Khan Younis came under heavy artillery shelling and fire on Wednesday.

The Israeli army opened fire on civilians waiting for aid delivery in northwestern Rafah, killing five Palestinians and injuring dozens. Some of the injured civilians are in critical condition, medical sources told Anadolu.

According to the Gaza Health Ministry on Wednesday, the Israeli army targeted Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital in Gaza City late Tuesday in three separate strikes.

The hospital was treating 80 patients across various specialties, in addition to four pediatric intensive care cases and eight neonatal intensive care cases, the ministry said.

“As a result of the bombing, 40 patients left the hospital seeking safe places to protect their children, while 40 patients remain with their companions, along with 12 intensive care cases and 30 hospital staff members,” the statement added.

The ministry condemned the criminal Israeli attack on the hospital and called on all relevant parties to protect health institutions, medical personnel, and patients in the Gaza Governorate.

The Israeli army has killed almost 65,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The relentless bombardment has rendered the enclave uninhabitable and led to starvation and the spread of diseases.
