Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip killed at least 103 people overnight and into Sunday, hospitals and medics said, and prompted the main hospital in northern Gaza to close as Israel intensifies its war in the territory.
More than 48 people were killed in airstrikes in and around the southern city of Khan Younis. Among the dead were 18 children and 13 women.
In northern Gaza, a strike on a home in the built-up Jabaliya refugee camp killed nine people from a single family, according to the Gaza health ministry’s emergency services. Another strike on a family residence in Jabaliya killed 10, including seven children and a woman. The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the overnight strikes.
Hospital shuts down
Health officials said that fighting around the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza and an Israeli military “siege” prompted it to shut down. The hospital was the main medical facility in the territory’s war-wrecked north, after northern Gaza’s previous main hospital, Kamal Adwan, was forced to stop serving Palestinians last year because of Israeli strikes, as was a second facility, Beit Hanoun Hospital. The Israeli military didn’t comment on operations at the hospital.
Israel blocks Houthi attack
The Israeli military said it intercepted a Houthi missile launched at the country early Sunday, which set off air raid sirens in multiple parts of
the country. The rebels said they fired two ballistic missiles — including a hypersonic one — towards Israel’s main airport near Tel Aviv, whose grounds earlier this month were struck by a Houthi missile. Later, Israel’s military announced the start of “extensive” new ground operations in Gaza.
