<p>To retaliate for the innocent lives taken by the IOF in its <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-genocide:-israeli-murders-800-in-gaza-hospital-bombi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">massacre against Al-Maamadani National Hospital</a>
in Gaza that left over 800 killed, Al-Qassam Brigades bombed “Tel Aviv”
and the “Ramon” air base in the occupied Naqab with a missile barrage. </p>
<p>Sirens also sounded in and occupied Askalan and Asdud today, the same day after Al-Qassam <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/rocket-production-in-gaza:-a-history-of-innovation-and-perse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched an R160 missile</a> towards the occupied city of Haifa, as “a response to the massacres against civilians.” </p>
<p>The Israeli occupation forces bombed a Palestinian Hospital as Gaza
health authorities continue reporting that its health sector is
suffering in light of the crisis, with medicine and medical supplies
being at risk of running out.</p>
<p>Some Israeli and pro-Israeli accounts claimed it was a failed
resistance launch, but based on the speed of the object it's not
possible for it to be a missile, as dud rockets failing to accelerate
would have much lower speeds. </p>
<p>The speed difference can be easily identified between gliding
munition launched from the air and failing-to-accelerate dud missiles.
Hence, the object that hit the hospital was most definitely an Israeli
airstrike.</p>
<p>Despite global appeals to protect healthcare facilities from Israeli
airstrikes and forced displacement orders, Israeli threats have targeted
hospitals in the Gaza Strip, endangering the well-being of patients and
the wounded. "Israel" demanded on Saturday that al-Awda Hospital in
northern Gaza forcibly evacuate its patients and staff within two hours.</p>
<p>Israeli warplanes also conducted airstrikes in the vicinity of the
hospital in Tel al-Zaatar, northern Gaza, as part of their attempt to
exert pressure on the hospital and expedite the displacement process. </p>
<p>In the same context, al-Durra Children's Hospital in the east of the
Gaza Strip was forced to evacuate its staff and patients after it was
pounded with white phosphorus munitions.</p>
<p>This situation unfolds as the healthcare system in Gaza faces a
severe crisis, marked by dwindling medication supplies and electricity
shortages due to the total Israeli blockade.</p>
<p>Palestinian Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra told Al
Mayadeen, on Thursday, that Gaza was hours away from essential services
completely shutting down, and the health sector was in collapse.</p></div></div></div>
