Gaza, March 23 (QNA) – Israeli occupation forces have intensified their airstrikes and artillery shelling across the Gaza Strip, resulting in multiple civilian casualties. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, an Israeli attack targeted the surgical building of the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, killing several patients and causing a massive fire.

Among the victims was Ismail Barhoum, a senior Hamas leader and political bureau member, who was receiving treatment for injuries from an earlier Israeli strike. Additionally, a young girl was killed, and several others were wounded when an Israeli drone bombed civilians in Al Rayyan, northeast of Rafah. Another child succumbed to injuries from an airstrike on his home in Al Nuseirat, raising the death toll from that attack to four.

Medical sources report that at least 50 people have been killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza since dawn today. The escalating violence has severely impacted medical facilities and civilian areas, worsening the humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave. (QNA)
