Israeli strike in northern Gaza kills 17 members of the Doctor’s family

In northern Gaza, at least 17 Palestinians were killed when the Israeli army shelled a house near Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia. The dead were family members of Dr. Hani Badran, one of the few remaining medical workers at Kamal Adwan. The video shows hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who lost his own son in an Israeli airstrike last month, comforting Dr. Badran after breaking the news. Since then, the hospital has come under further attacks from Israeli forces who shelled and fired at the building, including right outside Dr. Abu Safiya’s office. Dr. Abu Safiya reports that injured patients are dying daily due to severe shortage of doctors and medical supplies.

Elsewhere, an Israeli airstrike on a house in Gaza City on Monday killed seven Palestinians and wounded 10. Survivors said the strike came without warning.

Mohamed Abu Ryaleh: “I was at home having breakfast. I went out and suddenly heard the sound of a shelling. I turned back, thinking it was another house that had been hit. I saw that the whole house was damaged. I started searching and found that all the martyrs were children. All who were at home were old men, children, and infants. They were all women. Who else would be there? All the men were at work. We’re getting them back in pieces.”
