On Friday, Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya left his family home for a shift as
the director of the Al-Shifa Hospital. A day later, the bodies of six
family members arrived while he was still on duty.
An Israeli airstrike hit his home in the Al Shati refugee camp, west of
Gaza City, where multiple generations had been living together, the
doctor said.
“This is the family home where we live. My brother, two of my
brother’s sons, my nephew’s wife, and two of their children were
martyred,” Abu Salmiya told CNN.
The strike on Abu Salmiya’s family home killed six people and injured
seven others, including the hospital director’s sister, niece and
nephews, he said.
CNN has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces for comment on the
target of the strikes.
A video shared by the director general of Gaza’s Ministry of Health,
Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, showed a grief-stricken Abu Salmiya kneeling next
to the bodies of his family members at the hospital, still wearing his
doctor’s scrubs.
“We pray that God grants patience and strength to his heart and the
hearts of his family,” Al-Bursh said in a post on social media.
Gaza’s civil defense said they rescued four injured people and
recovered three bodies at the home in Gaza’s northern beach area.
“A missing person remains buried under the rubble. Our crews are
trying to reach him and retrieve him,” the civil defense said.
The latest assault comes as global outcry intensifies over Israel’s
attempts to. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been fleeing the
city, where Israel has been demolishing high-rise buildings.
Israel says the city, Gaza’s largest, remains a Hamas stronghold. The
group’s military wing issued an image of the remaining Israeli
hostages it is holding, warning the incursion in Gaza City means that
Israel has lost any chance of getting its hostages out of the
territory.
Israel’s military on Saturday said it had struck more than 120
“terrorist targets” since the start of its ground operation in Gaza
City.
In a statement, the IDF said during several days of fighting Israeli
troops had discovered tunnel shafts and underground passages and
“located submachine guns and ammunition hidden in civilian
structures.” It also claimed to have “eliminated more than 30
terrorists.”
The IDF also said it was “creating a corridor to enable the movement
of the civilian population southward for their safety.”
The statement came as graphic videos shared by Palestinians on social
media and geolocated by CNN showed the aftermath of an Israeli
airstrike that hit a truck transporting displaced people on Al-Shifa
Street, west of Gaza City.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said at least 90 people had
been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza City on Saturday. The deaths
were recorded at the Al-Shifa Hospital, Baptist Hospital, Jordanian
Hospital and the Al-Quds Hospital in the city.
More than 65,200 Palestinian people in Gaza have been killed since
October 7, 2023, according to the latest figures from the Palestinian
health ministry.
The United Nations and others have warned that the will worsen an
already dire humanitarian crisis, with parts of Gaza officially
declared .
This week, an independent concluded for the first time that Israel has
committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, which Israel firmly
denies.
