The Israeli military has once again unleashed a night of terror upon the people of Gaza, launching a brutal assault on Kamal Adwan Hospital, a critical medical facility in the north of the besieged enclave.

Israeli Violence Leaves Gazans Without Safe Havens
The bombing, part of Israel’s ongoing ground offensive – now in its 78th day – has left hundreds wounded and the hospital inoperable, with a dire loss of life, including medical personnel.
Throughout the early morning hours, the Israeli army bombarded the region with artillery fire from tanks, as well as airstrikes.
This latest attack follows a pattern of deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure, particularly healthcare facilities, which the international community has repeatedly condemned, but whose concerns have fallen on deaf ears.
The assault on the Kamal Adwan Hospital was particularly savage, with initial strikes hitting critical areas such as the maternity ward and intensive care unit. The hospital’s generators, its only fuel tank, and water reservoirs were destroyed, leaving the facility without power and unable to function. This devastating blow leaves countless patients without care and highlights the callous disregard of the Israeli military for human life. The area surrounding the hospital has also been severely damaged in these attacks.
Husam Abu Safia, the hospital director, has described this most recent onslaught as the “most brutal and devastating” they have endured so far. According to his reports, this series of attacks have caused more than five deaths, including staff members. Amidst the rubble, civilians, including newborns in incubators, are trapped, completely unable to be evacuated due to explicit orders from Israel forcing the complete evacuation of the facility.
These relentless attacks reveal a conscious and calculated effort by the Israeli regime to dismantle the healthcare system in Gaza, cutting off the most vulnerable from the critical care they need. These attacks are being carried out while the world watches, powerless to stop them.
The scale of violence in Jabalia refugee camp is equally horrific, with nearly 400 reported wounded in this latest assault. The constant artillery fire and bombardment have created a chaotic and terrifying situation for the camp’s residents. This deliberate targeting of densely populated civilian areas is a clear violation of international law.
This escalation of violence occurs in the wake of Israel’s admission of assassinating a Hamas leader in Tehran, further demonstrating the regime’s disregard for regional stability and its willingness to engage in actions that perpetuate cycles of violence and destabilization.
This latest atrocity underscores the urgent need for an immediate end to the violence and for international intervention to protect the civilian population of Gaza, to hold the aggressors accountable, and to ensure that the people of Gaza can rebuild their lives with dignity and without the threat of further military aggression.
