The Israeli attack on Kamal Adwan hospita yesterday apparently resulted in the damage of the oxygen supply which has killed a number of children in the ICU.
150 patients and medical staff remain besieged in the hospital by the Israeli army.

Cameraman Ghassan Najjar and engineer Mohamed Reda from Al-Mayadeen and cameraman Wissam Qassem from Al-Manar.

Israeli troops have also fired machine guns at the hospital full of wounded Palestinians, including children and newborns in neonatal care.
Some of the doctors and medical staff have been forcedully disappeared.

Israel has already killed two journalists in northern Gaza over the past few weeks. One of them, Hassan Hamad, was documented receiving death threats from Israeli intelligence officers on his phone.
An Israeli missile targeting his home in Jabalia tore him into pieces on October 6, when Israel launched its bloody assault there.
Israel does not want anyone documenting its war crimes and so it has now officially come after Al Jazeera's crew.

Today, the Israeli army made false claims that out colleagues Anas al-Sharif, Alaa Salameh, Hossam Shabat, Ashraf al-Sarraj, Ismail Abu Omar, and Talal al-Arrouqi are Hamas and PIJ members.
This basically is an official death threat to all of them. Israel wants then all dead.
To illustrate how absurd Israeli claims are: Anas, who files packages on a daily basis and does lives is accused of simuktanously being head of a Hamas rocket launching unit and fighting with the Nukhba.

Al Jazeera Arabic colleague Anas Al Sharif is reporting that Israeli aircraft have started dropping barrel bombs in north #Gaza .
These were widely used by the Syrian regime in its extermination campaigns against civilians in opposition-held territory.
Haaretz was reporting a week ago that Israel is low on ammunition. So perhaps this is the result.
These barrel bombs are full of tnt and shrapnel and cause horrific destruction and mass slaughter.

By now, I am no longer shocked at anything that the BBC publishes, not even when it normalises the ethnic cleansing, mass slaughter, and starvation of northern Gaza by letting the main architect of this speak as if it is a normal military plan and not a war crime.

Israel has been so successful in normalising brutal violence and slaughter of civilians that its attacks on hospitals and schools no longer even get an international reaction, let alone media coverage.
Overnight the grounds of Al Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah were targetted again, likely with incidiary weapons that killed at least four people and started a massive fire, burning dozens of tents - or what displaced families now call home.

The airstrike tore Hassan to pieces. He was brought to a hospital by his colleagues in plastic bags.
This is the 175th Palestinian journalist killed by Israel since Oct 7. Israel is by fat the biggest killer of journalists in the world.

"The video—which is captioned in Hebrew, “Destruction of the Tal Sultan water reservoir in honor of Shabbat”—ends with footage of the water facility being blown up. The soundtrack is a song produced by soldiers of the 51st Golani Brigade with lyrics like, “We will burn Gaza… shake all of Gaza… for every house you destroy we will destroy ten.”

According to the Washington Post, Hamas committed war crimes against Israeli civilians, but Israel didn't. And the ICJ "condemned" the Israeli "response", but did not refer to Israel plausibly committing genocidal activities.

"Summary child executions are happening in Gaza’
Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan, an American-Jordanian paediatric physician who has been to #Gaza several times since October, says children in Gaza are being deliberately shot by Israeli soldiers.
“If I hadn’t been there and witnessed children shot by Israeli forces, I would struggle to believe that summary child executions are happening in Gaza. See [the] full CBS report and then mobilise to stop this,” she said in a post on X."

Israel has effectively normalised attacks on UN facilities and UN schools used as shelters by IDPs. The world does not seem to care any more about these almost daily attacks.

"Local media outlets in Gaza are quoting witnesses of the Israeli bombing in al-Mawasi as saying that a series of violent raids by Israeli fighter jets targeted the camp for displaced people.

What the Israeli army called a "precision strike" based on "precise intelligence" on a camp for internally displaced involved 8 missiles. The supposed targets were 2 people.
The actual fatalities are upward of 35, mostly women and children, per medical sources.

"Shortly before the equipment was seized, it was broadcasting a general view of northern Gaza. The AP complies with Israel’s military censorship rules, which prohibit broadcasts of details like troops movements that could endanger soldiers. The live shot has generally shown smoke rising over the territory."
I guess complying with the military censor is no longer enough.

Under international law, the Palestinian territories are occupied. Under international law, Palestinians who were expelled in 1948 from their villages and towns and fled to Gaza are refugees and what they set up to live in are refugee camps.
