Israeli artillery kills Palestinian woman in Gaza’s Zeitoun neighbourhood
Israeli artillery struck a group in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, killing a Palestinian woman and wounding others, Al Jazeera and Gaza emergency sources report.
Israeli artillery struck a gathering in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, killing a Palestinian woman and injuring several others, Al Jazeera reported, citing a source within the ambulance and emergency service. The attack was described as separate from an earlier strike in the same neighbourhood that killed four Palestinians and left another critically wounded. Local medical and rescue sources say the strikes are among a series of raids that have inflicted significant civilian casualties across the Gaza Strip.
Shelling in Zeitoun Kills Woman, Wounds Several
A source within Gaza’s ambulance and emergency service told reporters that Israeli artillery fire hit a group in Zeitoun, resulting in the death of a woman and multiple injuries. Rescue crews reached the scene amid ongoing hostilities and transferred the wounded to nearby hospitals, according to the same source. The account was reported by Al Jazeera and relayed by hospital staff who handled the casualties.
Earlier Zeitoun Strike Left Four Dead and One Critically Wounded
An attack earlier in the day in Zeitoun killed four Palestinians and critically wounded another individual, hospital sources said. Medical staff treating the wounded described chaotic conditions as more patients arrived from the neighbourhood following the second incident. The two incidents in Zeitoun appeared to be distinct events according to emergency responders on the ground.
Gaza Hospitals Report 24 Deaths Since Yesterday
Sources at Gaza hospitals reported that Israeli raids across several areas of the Gaza Strip had killed 24 Palestinians since yesterday, placing additional strain on medical facilities. Hospital administrators said they were coping with an influx of trauma patients while attempting to maintain care for existing patients under difficult conditions. The casualty figures come from hospital tallies and have not been independently verified.
Morning Raids on Gaza City Killed 10, Including Three Children
Since dawn, Israeli raids on Gaza City were reported to have killed 10 Palestinians, among them three children, health sources at Gaza hospitals stated. Medical personnel flagged the high number of child victims in the early-morning strikes as particularly alarming and said pediatric care resources were being stretched. The morning incidents contributed substantially to the casualty totals recorded across multiple Gaza medical centres.
Ambulance and Hospital Sources Describe Emergency Response
Ambulance crews and hospital staff provided the primary accounts of the incidents, describing urgent evacuations and emergency surgeries to treat the wounded. Sources emphasized the difficulties of operating under continuous attack conditions and the challenge of accurately documenting casualties amid shifting frontlines. These first-responder reports form the backbone of casualty reporting, according to local health and rescue workers on the scene.
Further details remain limited as hospital and rescue services continue to collect information and treat the injured, and independent verification of the reported figures has not been possible at this time.
