Headline: ‘Horrific’: Israel bombs hospitals, residential towers amid Gaza onslaught
Israel’s military has encircled Gaza’s largest medical complex, deploying explosive-laden vehicles and incendiary fire belts. Doctors describe “horrific scenes” as terrified patients flee and staff continue working under extreme duress. Over 100 patients remain, with critical shortages of medicine and equipment.
Al Helou Hospital Targeted:
This facility, housing a cancer ward and neonatal unit with 12 premature babies, was shelled and surrounded by Israeli tanks. More than 90 people including medical staff and patients are reportedly trapped inside.
Residential Towers Flattened:
The Mecca Tower and dozens of other high-rises have been bombed following evacuation threats in Gaza City’s Remal, Sabra, and port districts. Entire blocks that once housed thousands have been reduced to rubble.
Weaponry Used:
Al Jazeera reports a mix of heavy artillery, drone strikes, and “quake bombs” designed to destroy building foundations. The Qassam Brigades (Hamas’s armed wing) claim they’ve lost contact with two Israeli captives amid the chaos.
