The dawn hours brought no respite for civilians, with reports detailing a relentless assault across multiple neighborhoods. Medical sources confirmed that 52 Palestinians were martyred and dozens wounded on Sunday alone, with the toll expected to rise from Monday’s intense operations.
The already crippled healthcare system is facing extreme duress. The Ministry of Health in Gaza stated that Al-Shifa Medical Complex continues to operate “despite the difficult current situation.” In a dire warning, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health reported that Israeli forces cut off the internet at Al-Helou Hospital in Gaza City, plunging patients and staff into “a state of panic and fear.”

Southern Gaza Strip under attack
In the southern Gaza Strip, six Palestinians were martyred by Israeli gunfire near the Morag axis south of Khan Younis.

The bombardment comes amid intensifying attacks across the Strip, aiming to forcibly displace Palestinians from the northern Gaza Strip.
An Israeli drone strike with an explosives box targeted a home in al-Sabra, killing and wounding civilians. Simultaneously, bombings and drone fire hit the al-Saraya area, al-Shuhada Street, and the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital. The Israeli army also detonated booby-trapped robots on al-Nasr Street and carried out house-to-house bombings.
Al-Awda Hospital reported receiving one martyr and several wounded after an airstrike hit a tent for displaced persons north of the al-Nuseirat camp.

The assault extended to critical infrastructure and rescue operations. Palestinian sources confirmed that Israeli drones opened fire on ambulances and civil defense crews while they were attempting to carry out their work in Gaza City.
Fires erupted in residential homes after a building on al-Nafaq Street was bombed. The night prior, Israeli forces targeted a list of civilian sites, including a residential building near the Baptist Hospital, a house near the Safad School, and a building near Palestine Square.
