According to officials in Gaza, a densely populated refugee camp called Jabalya in northern Gaza was hit by an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday, resulting in numerous casualties. The Ministry of Interior in Gaza, which is under Hamas control, stated that the bombing by Israel caused complete destruction to 20 homes in a residential area of Jabalya.
Dr. Atef al-Kahlout, the director of Gazas Indonesian hospital, informed CNN that numerous deceased and wounded individuals have arrived at the hospital, with many still trapped beneath the debris. Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Lt. Col. Richard Hecht has verified to CNN that the strike was carried out by the Israeli military, specifically targeting a high-ranking commander affiliated with the Hamas militant organization.
Photos of the site revealed numerous expansive craters on the ground, encompassed by debris from demolished and impaired structures. Dr. Mohammad alRann, from the Indonesian hospital in Gaza, expressed, "What you witness is an unimaginable sight: countless wounded martyrs, hundreds of charred bodies. The patients and injured individuals occupy the floors, beds, corridors, and reception space."
"All we can do is keep taking them in. Most of the injuries are from explosives and head injuries and amputations."
