Gaza Herald – The Palestinian Ministry of Health says 152 Palestinians were killed in Gaza during the past month, marking the highest monthly death toll of the year. According to the ministry, those killed included 21 children, 14 women, and four elderly Palestinians.
On Saturday, seven Palestinians were killed and others injured in a series of Israeli strikes targeting the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City and Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.
Witnesses said an Israeli drone struck a gathering of civilians in Sheikh Radwan, causing multiple casualties. Medical sources confirmed that two people were killed in the attack, while several others sustained injuries.
In central Gaza, the Palestinian Civil Defense reported that an Israeli strike hit a warehouse storing medicines and medical supplies at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, causing massive damage.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the attack completely destroyed two storage facilities and severely damaged two others, resulting in the loss of large quantities of essential medical supplies at a time when Gaza’s healthcare system is facing severe shortages.
Images from the scene showed a large crater and medical supplies scattered across the debris.
The Israeli military claimed that it had carried out overnight strikes targeting five weapons storage sites belonging to Hamas in different parts of the Gaza Strip.
The latest attacks came despite reports that mediators had reached a roadmap agreement with Hamas aimed at advancing the second phase of the ceasefire, including a halt to Israeli military operations, Hamas relinquishing its weapons, and an Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. The continued airstrikes have raised questions about the implementation of the proposed agreement.
Hamas political bureau member Basem Naim accused Israel of escalating the situation and called on international mediators to pressure Israel to halt the attacks and repeated violations.
