Israeli airstrikes kill three Palestinians in Gaza City, bringing the total casualties in the past 24 hours to seven.
Confirmed
An Israeli drone attack killed two people in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood, according to the Palestinian Wafa news agency, which cited al-Shifa Hospital, where the casualties were taken along with several wounded.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said separately that seven people were killed and 76 wounded across the territory in the past 48 hours, with one more dying of earlier injuries. He said that two of the people were killed and several injured in a strike by Israeli warplanes on a rooftop southwest of Gaza City.
Earlier on Saturday, medical sources announced that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip had risen to 73,349 Palestinians killed and 174,162 injured since October 7, 2023. Gaza’s Civil Defence said it had finished recovering bodies from a home in Gaza City’s Sabra area destroyed by Israeli forces roughly two weeks ago.
And one person was killed and several wounded in an air strike on al-Thalatini Street in Gaza City, emergency services said. The Israeli deadly strikes in Gaza came two days after US President Donald Trump announced an agreement on a roadmap for the phased disarmament of Hamas and other resistance groups in the strip, alongside the gradual withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from the strip.
Among other incidents, the civil defence agency said two people were killed and several injured when Israel hit near a pharmacy northwest of Gaza City. Gaza’s Health Ministry, which administers hospitals in the territory, said two of four storage facilities were completely destroyed and two others badly damaged, calling the attack a “heinous crime” and appealing for international intervention to protect medical facilities.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza, said Al-Aqsa Hospital is one of the few facilities in central Gaza still able to treat large numbers of patients, serving as the main option for displaced families after months of war degraded the territory’s health system.
The Palestinian health ministry condemned "the heinous crime committed by Israeli occupation forces" which it said had "obliterated two of the four warehouses" for medical supplies, severely damaged the other two and damaged the adjacent outpatient clinic building.
Hamas has said its agreement to disarm is conditional on Israel halting its attacks, withdrawing from Gaza and allowing the entry of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) and international forces, among other conditions.
