A pediatric hospital, a center for disability services, and several homes
were damaged early this morning in Israeli airstrikes and artillery attacks
on the besieged Gaza Strip, Palestine Chronicle correspondent Wafa Aludaini
reported.

Israeli warplanes fired five missiles east of the neighborhood of Tuffah in
Gaza City injuring a six-year-old girl and a young man.

A fire broke out at the location of the airstrike as the firefighters
worked all night to put off the fire in the attack that took place an hour
after midnight. Electric power was also cut off to several areas east of
Gaza as a result of the strikes.

Israel claimed the attacks came after two missiles were fired from Gaza and
fell in open areas in southern Israel without causing any damage or injury.

“It was a horrible night for the children at the Al-Durrah Hospital, due to
the missiles fired by the Israeli occupation warplanes, which caused deep
damage to the hospital, spreading fear and panic among children and their
families,” Dr. Majed Hamadah, manager of the hospital, told our
correspondent.

“This is not the first time that the Al-Durrah Hospital has been bombed by
the Israeli occupation, despite the fact that it is a pediatric hospital,”
Dr. Hamadah added.
