ANKARA

At least eight people were killed and several others injured in Israeli attacks on northern Gaza on Saturday, Palestinian sources said.

According to medical sources, four people were killed and over 15 others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a home in the Tuba area of the Jabalia refugee camp.

In a separate incident, the Palestinian civil defense confirmed that two more Palestinians were killed and seven others injured in another strike on a home belonging to the Saeedi family in Jabalia.

Separately, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said Israeli artillery targeted the upper floors of the Indonesian Hospital, which housed over 40 patients and injured individuals, as well as medical staff.

The situation worsened as the hospital lost electricity, further endangering the lives of patients, especially those dependent on oxygen machines.

Two patients in the intensive care unit were killed due to the Israeli army’s siege of the hospital and cutting off its electricity for hours, a medical source at the Indonesian Hospital told Anadolu.

Marwan Sultan, the director of the facility, described the dire conditions, saying at least 30 patients were injured, with 10 in urgent need of oxygen support, warning that their lives are at risk if the power outage continues.

Separately, a group of displaced civilians gathered outside the hospital gates were hit by artillery fire, causing casualties, according to witnesses.

Witnesses said the hospital is surrounded by Israeli forces, who have besieged shelters housing thousands of displaced civilians around the hospital area.

Meanwhile, the al-Awda Hospital in the Tel al-Zaatar area of Jabalia was also hit by Israeli artillery just hours after the attack on the Indonesian Hospital.

In a related development, the Palestinian Telecommunications Company said internet services were interrupted in northern Gaza.

Israel has killed more than 42,000 people in Gaza since a cross-border incursion by Hamas. It killed the group's leader, Yahya Sinwar, earlier this week. Sinwar had taken charge after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh on July 31 in Tehran.
