Israel Injures 666 Palestinians, Targets 5 Hospitals in One Week

Israel, the occupying power, is working to eliminate any attempt to save the northern and central parts of the Gaza Strip by working to end the health sector services there in conjunction with a systematic bloody bombing operation that ultimately seeks to empty the North of the Gaza Strip of its Palestinian residents and seize control of it. The World Health Organization has declared Northern Gaza an area devoid of health facilities.

The scene was catastrophic after Kamal Adwan Hospital was evacuated and stopped from operating following Israeli attack, in which it was burned and its staff was arrested. The remaining hospitals in Gaza City were also targeted, including the bombing of Al-Wafa Hospital in central Gaza and the Baptist Ahli Hospital, the destruction of equipment and supplies at the Indonesian Hospital, and the attack on Al-Awda Hospital, which claimed the lives of 5 journalists. This occurred during the period documented by the OIC Media Observatory on Israeli Crimes against Palestinians, from December 24-30, 2024. The monitored week witnessed the murdering of 225 Palestinians in 20 massacres, and 666 others were injured. The total number of Palestinians murdered from October 7, 2023, to December 29, 2024, reached 46,349 and the injured stood at 114,639.

Last week also witnessed warnings that the fate of 300 Palestinian families is unknown in Beit Hanoun, which has become the next target of the occupation forces’ shells after attacks on Jabalia and Beit Lahia.

The American newspaper, The New York Times, revealed that the occupation forces had granted freedom to its mid-ranking officers to kill civilians freely with impunity, as part of their aggression against the Gaza Strip. This policy explains the almost constant numbers of murdered, and confirms that the occupation army has been deliberately murdering nearly the same number of people every day. The OIC Observatory also noted that the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank are always similar, and often follow a repetitive pattern, with similar attacks occurring on the same day in multiple cities.
