In brief
Early Sunday, the Israeli military targeted the Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza's Zeitoun neighborhood, which has become a critical health resource amid ongoing conflict. While the attack did not result in fatalities, a child died during the rapid evacuation ordered by Israeli forces. The military claims the facility had housed Hamas command operations, a statement that has not been substantiated with evidence, and asserts they notified the hospital prior to the strike. This incident reflects the dire state of healthcare in Gaza, with 33 out of 36 hospitals reported damaged by the World Health Organization, further exacerbated by an ongoing blockade of medical supplies. Prior strikes on the hospital had already caused significant disruption, leaving the facility vital amid increasing military occupations in southern Gaza.
