Israel has again intensified attacks in Gaza. Israeli warplanes carried out fresh airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, killing at least 24 Palestinians. At the same time, the Israeli army warned that it would bomb a hospital in northern Gaza.

Air strikes targeted a group of Palestinians in the al-Sayed Ali area of ​​the al-Shuja'iya neighborhood, east of Gaza city, killing seven people, including four children and a woman, Gaza Civil Defense said in a statement.

5 bodies including 3 children recovered

Five people were killed and others injured in an airstrike near the entrance of Al-Shifa Hospital in the west of Gaza city, news agency Xinhua reported.

Meanwhile, Al-Ahli Arab Hospital confirmed that the bodies of five people killed in airstrikes were found on al-Nasr Street, west of Gaza City. Paramedics said medical teams later recovered five more bodies, including three children, following airstrikes in the al-Zitoun and al-Sabra areas. In central Gaza, two people were killed when a civilian car hit them in an Israeli attack in the town of al-Jawaida.

Israeli army's ultimatum to the hospital

His remains were taken to Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, hospital officials said. Meanwhile, Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza said it had received an ultimatum from the Israeli military to evacuate immediately or face bombing. The hospital also reported intense artillery shelling around its premises. The Israeli military has not issued an immediate response to these incidents. However, the Israeli military said on Friday that its air force had attacked 40 Hamas targets, including command centers and control facilities.

The army accused Hamas of using civilian infrastructure such as schools for operational purposes, calling it a "cynical exploitation" of Gaza's civilian population. The attacks are part of Israel's ongoing military operation in Gaza following Hamas' deadly attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which left nearly 1,200 people dead and 250 others taken hostage.
