Six people lost their lives amid an Israeli strike near the Shifa hospital complex in the Gaza Strip, according to reports from Sky News Arabia. The channel quoted a statement noting, “six people died and six were wounded in the assault in the area adjacent to the hospital.”
It was also reported that the bombardment occurred close to a temporary media tent used by journalists at the site.
Further reports from the channel indicated that Israeli Air Force aircraft targeted areas near other medical facilities in the northern Gaza region, including Al-Rantisi Hospital and the Indonesian Hospital.
In related remarks, a White House National Security Council spokesperson stated that Israel would begin to implement four-hour humanitarian pauses in portions of northern Gaza, describing them as daily pauses intended to facilitate aid delivery and civilian movement.
On November 7, Hamas’s press service claimed that the IDF attacked a building beside Jerusalem Hospital where Hamas members were located. After the strike, secondary explosions were said to have damaged parts of the hospital, according to assertions from Israeli Defense Forces representatives.
Commentary from observers has pointed to ongoing political factors that contribute to the flare-up of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, underscoring the long-standing tensions and the fragility of ceasefires in the region.
