Yesterday, Israel began expelling thousands of Gazans who entered its territory to work before October 7, to the Gaza Strip, which is being subjected to violent Israeli bombing.
Some of them confirmed that they did not know whether they still had families or homes to go to.
Yesterday, the Israeli bombing targeted ambulances in front of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, shortly after targeting displaced people from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip, causing deaths among them, according to what the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced, while the Israeli government rejected the American proposal for a “temporary truce.”
An eyewitness told Agence France-Presse: “I saw five bodies being transported to the morgue in the hospital.”
This comes after at least 14 Palestinians were killed in Israeli bombing during their displacement from the north of the Gaza Strip to its south. According to eyewitnesses, the bombing occurred on Al-Rashid Street, which connects the northern and southern Gaza Strip across the coast.
The Palestinian Red Crescent also announced that it had “targeted the vicinity of Al-Quds Hospital” more than once yesterday, in Tal Al-Hawa, southwest of Gaza City, noting that 14,000 displaced people had taken refuge in the vicinity of the hospital.
This comes as US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken visited Israel as part of his second tour in the Middle East since the start of the war in Gaza.
The toll of the Israeli bombing in the Gaza Strip exceeded 9,227 deaths, including 3,826 children and 2,405 women.
The Israeli army says that Hamas is holding 242 hostages, some of whom are foreigners.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced that he discussed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the issue of a “humanitarian truce” in the war in Gaza.
