Gaza: Israeli warplanes targeted at dawn Thursday the surroundings of Al-Quds Hospital, which is affiliated with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood in southern Gaza.
The Israeli occupation forces had threatened more than one time to bomb the hospital, where approximately 14,000 displaced Palestinians are sheltering, in addition to hundreds of patients and injured who are now at risk of being targeted, Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society had previously affirmed that they would not evacuate the hospital and called on the international community to urgently intervene to prevent a massacre.
The Israeli occupation warplanes began the airstrikes in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood in the southwest of Gaza City in the past few hours, in a violent manner, simultaneously with the Israeli artillery firing dozens of shells, resulting in the killing and injury of dozens.
