New massacre at Kamal Adwan Hospital... Intensive care unit out of service
The Israeli occupation forces targeted Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza in the early hours of Wednesday, causing a fire to break out in the intensive care unit of the hospital, the only one in the northern part of the strip.
In a recorded video from in front of the damaged section, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, the hospital manager, said: “The occupation bombardment was sudden and intense, as the occupation machinery targeted the vicinity of the hospital, accompanied by gunfire and shells in a hysterical manner.”
Abu Safia added: “The intensive care unit, which patients dependent on ventilators rely on, was directly targeted, leading to a fire inside it. We miraculously managed to evacuate the patients, but the unit is now completely out of service.”
He pointed out the catastrophic humanitarian situation the hospital is suffering from, indicating that the interruption of water for more than 8 days due to the occupation targeting tanks and supply networks has made handling the crisis more difficult.
He explained that hospital staff tried to control the fire using simple means due to the absence of necessary equipment because of the blockade, confirming that “the situation is still extremely dangerous.”
Abu Safia also revealed that the hospital faces daily targeting by the occupation, including drone strikes on generators, resulting in power outages and damage to vital sections.
UN: The Israeli occupation continues to prevent the entry of humanitarian aid into northern Gaza
The spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, Stéphane Dujarric, confirmed that the Israeli occupation continues to prevent the entry of humanitarian aid into northern Gaza.
Dujarric stated in press remarks, according to the Palestinian news agency, “Despite ongoing attempts, Israel has rejected 38 out of 40 requests made by the United Nations to deliver humanitarian aid since the beginning of December.”
He noted that the attempts by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) to deliver food and water to besieged areas have been repeatedly rejected, stressing that this obstinacy aggravates the humanitarian situation faced by the residents of the strip.

In a positive development for the Palestinian cause, the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution affirming the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. A total of 172 countries voted in favor of the resolution, while 7 countries opposed it, and 8 abstained from voting.
"Hamas": The General Assembly's decision reflects the justice of our cause and the necessity of action to end the occupation
The Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" welcomed the decision of the United Nations General Assembly, considering it a reflection of global solidarity and belief in the justice of the Palestinian cause, and the widespread rejection of the occupation and the criminal policies led by the US administration that disregards the rights of our Palestinian people.
The movement called on the international community and the United Nations and its institutions to overcome the unjust American will and to pressure for translating these resolutions into practical steps that stop aggression and end the occupation that weighs heavily on our people, enabling them to determine their own fate and establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
Hamas Leader: The ongoing security campaign by the Authority threatens the Palestinian national fabric
A leader in the "Hamas" movement, Abdul Rahman Shadid, called for support for the Palestinian resistance in Jenin, which is facing a siege from the Palestinian Authority's security forces.
Shadid stated in his remarks: "We affirm the necessity of protecting the resistance fighters and strengthening their power to confront the Zionist incursions and repel the crimes of the settlers, instead of pursuing and targeting them."
He also called for widespread mobilization in the "Day of Rage" events in support of Palestinian camps, warning that the continued security campaign by the Authority threatens the Palestinian national fabric and serves the goals of the occupation in liquidating the Palestinian cause.
"Al-Qassam" targets an Israeli occupation command and control site in the "Netzarim" axis
The Al-Qassam Brigades announced today, Wednesday, that their fighters managed to sniper a Zionist soldier, inflicting a direct injury in the "Touma" area north of Gaza City.
In another operation, the brigades targeted an Israeli occupation command and control site in the "Netzarim" axis with "107" rockets.
Smotrich opposes prisoner exchange deal: No time to make concessions to "Hamas"
Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced his opposition to any prisoner exchange deal with the "Hamas" movement, considering that such steps represent "surrender" to the will of the resistance.
Smotrich stated in comments to a right-wing radio: "This is not the right time to give Hamas a lifeline. We must continue to crush them until we recover the prisoners as part of their surrender deal, not ours."
Irish Prime Minister: “Israel” will not silence us from criticizing its crimes
In a supportive position for the Palestinian people, Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris said that Israel's decision to close its embassy in Dublin will not deter his country from criticizing the aggression against Gaza.
Harris described the Israeli move as "diplomacy of distraction," noting that "killing children and civilians, and preventing the flow of humanitarian aid, are the matters that the international community should condemn."
When asked by reporters about Dublin's stance, he replied: "Today, all of you are asking about Ireland's position. But what about Israel's practices? What about the practices carried out by Netanyahu against innocent children in Gaza?" according to the Anadolu Agency.
