Israeli airstrike at Gaza’s hospital
An Israeli airstrike at a hospital in Gaza on Sunday martyred five people, including a Hamas political leader, Palestinian medics and Hamas said.

The Gaza Health Ministry said the strike hit the surgery department at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.

Hamas said a member of its political office, Ismail Barhoum, had been martyred. Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV said Barhoum was being treated at the hospital for wounds sustained in a previous attack.

After two months of relative calm in the war, Gazans have again been fleeing for their lives after Israel effectively abandoned a ceasefire, launching a new all-out air and ground campaign on Tuesday against Hamas.

Another leader in Hamas, Salah al-Bardaweel, was martyred in a separate strike in Khan Younis, Hamas said earlier.

Both Bardaweel and Barhoum were members of the 19-member Hamas decision-making body, the political office, 11 of whom have been martyred since the start of the war in late 2023, according to Hamas sources.

Explosions echoed throughout the north, central and southern Gaza Strip early on Sunday, as Israeli planes hit targets in those areas in what witnesses said was an escalation of the attacks that began earlier in the week.

The death toll in Hamas-run Gaza has crossed 50,000, as the health ministry in Gaza reported on Sunday that at least 50,021 people have been martyred since the conflict with Israel began in October 2023.

The ministry also stated that 113,274 people have been wounded in the ongoing war.

According to Gaza's civil defense agency, the death toll had surpassed 50,000, although these figures have not been independently verified. However, the United Nations has deemed the health ministry's figures reliable.
