Palestinian sources have said that Israeli strikes in Gaza yesterday killed at least 45 people including hospital workers and journalists for a fighters-linked broadcaster, AFP reports.
Five staff at one of northern Gaza’s last functioning hospitals were among those killed, the facility’s director said, more than two months into an Israeli operation in the area.
Hossam Abu Safiya, head of the Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia, said “an Israeli strike resulted in five martyrs among the hospital staff” — a pediatrician, a lab technician, two ambulance workers and a member of maintenance staff.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Witnesses said a missile struck the van while it was parked outside Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat.
