In its latest assault on Gaza’s decimated healthcare system, Israel has once again targeted the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, this time with drones, as its forces are also carrying out a ground offensive in the north and south of the bombarded territory.
Health officials said late on Sunday that fighting around the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza and an Israeli military “siege” forced it to shut down.

It was the main medical facility in the north after Israeli air strikes last year also forced the Kamal Adwan and Beit Hanoon hospitals to stop providing health services.
“There is direct targeting on the hospital including the intensive care unit,” Indonesian Hospital director Dr Marwan al-Sultan said in a statement, adding that no one could reach the facility, which had about 30 patients and 15 medical staff inside.
Israel has repeatedly targeted hospitals during its 19-month war on Gaza. Human rights groups and United Nations-backed experts have accused Israel of systematically destroying Gaza’s healthcare system.
Earlier, Dr Muhammad Abu Salmiya, director of al-Shifa Hospital in the besieged enclave’s north, told Al Jazeera on Sunday that the latest strikes – which have been ongoing since Saturday – indicate that Israeli attacks on Gaza’s hospitals are intensifying.
“The medical teams are really suffering, and we have a few numbers of medical teams and staff … and a lot of people are in need [of] more medical care,” Abu Salmiya said by phone from the hospital on Sunday.
Thousands of sick and wounded people could die, he warned. Blood donations are urgently needed.
This has been underscored by Gaza’s Health Ministry, which confirmed that Israeli forces besieged the facility in Beit Lahiya, adding that “a state of panic and confusion is prevailing”.
The ministry later said that Israel had cut off the arrival of patients and staff, “effectively forcing the hospital out of service”.
With “the shutdown of the Indonesian Hospital, all public hospitals in the North Gaza Governorate are now out of service”, it said.
Gaza’s healthcare facilities have been targeted repeatedly throughout Israel’s deadly assault that began 18 months ago.
Other facilities in the north that have been bombed, burned, and besieged by the Israeli military since the start of the war include Kamal Adwan Hospital, al-Shifa Hospital, al-Ahli Hospital, and al-Awda Hospital. Dozens of other medical clinics, stations, and vehicles have also come under attack.
The targeting of health facilities, medical personnel and patients is considered a war crime under the 1949 Geneva Convention.
Israel has also battered several hospitals in Gaza’s central and southern areas, including Deir el-Balah’s Al-Aqsa Hospital and the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis.
Gaza’s medical system in ruins as hospitals overwhelmed by Israeli siege: al-Shifa Hospital Director
Earlier this week, Israel struck two hospitals in Khan Younis. Nine missiles slammed into and around the courtyard of the European Gaza Hospital, killing at least 16 people, while an attack on the Nasser Medical Complex killed two people, including a wounded journalist.
Incessant attacks on Gaza’s healthcare sector have left it reeling, devastating its ability to function, while doctors say they are out of medicine to treat routine conditions.
Hospitals have also been on the verge of total collapse amid a brutal and ongoing blockade, where Israel continues to bar the entry of much-needed medical supplies, fuel, and other humanitarian aid including food and clean water.
The crisis in Gaza has reached one of its darkest periods, humanitarian officials warn, as famine also looms.
Israeli air strikes have killed hundreds of Palestinians in the last 72 hours.
Strikes over the weekend have also put the European Hospital, the only remaining facility providing cancer treatments in Gaza, out of service.
Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary, reporting from Deir el-Balah, said dozens of Palestinians have been wounded, and doctors say “they’re facing numerous challenges in treating injuries because of a lack of medical supplies”.
“Israeli air strikes in Gaza are still escalating as drones and fighter jets hover in the sky,” Khoudary said.

The death toll has reached the same level of intensity as the earliest days of the war, said Emily Tripp, executive director of Airwars, an independent group in London that tracks recent conflicts.
She says preliminary data indicate the number of incidents where at least one person was killed or injured by Israeli fire hovered around 700 in April. It’s a figure comparable only to October or December 2023 – one of the heaviest periods of bombardment.
In the last 10 days of March, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimates, an average of 100 children were killed or maimed by Israeli air strikes every day.
Almost 3,000 of the estimated 53,000 killed by Israel since October 7, 2023, have lost their lives since Israel broke a fragile ceasefire on March 18, Gaza’s Health Ministry said.
Among those killed in recent days include a volunteer pharmacist with the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, who was killed with her family in a strike on Gaza City on May 4.
A midwife from Al Awda Health and Community Association was also killed with her family in another strike on May 7.
A journalist working for Qatar-based television network Al Araby TV, along with 11 members of his family, was also killed.

Watch and learn a few facts from this Travel Guide. He got 1 million views and 16,000 comments but not a single example (name and place) of an Ishmael whose land was stolen by an Isaac before 1948.
ReplyDeleteOn the eve of May 14, 1948, the Ishmaels launched an air attack on Tel Aviv, which the Isaacs resisted. This action was followed by the invasion by Ishmael armies from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Egypt. Saudi Arabia sent soldiers that fought under the Egyptian command.
So Ishmael started a war and they lost, and with it more land, because wars have consequences, ie loser loses land. Did North Vietnam give back South Vietnam after they won the Vietnam War?

Mfer, Vietnam is still there despite the previous North & South distinction.
DeleteThe people is still Vietnamese.
If the zionist state expands into Jewnited ME, then the prophecy foretold in the Torah sbout the final demise of the decandants of Abraham would come to fruition!
Just to share info and invite discussions:
ReplyDeleteBefore 1948, Jewish organizations and individuals purchased significant amounts of land in Palestine, primarily from absentee landlords and through public auctions. The largest single purchase was the Sursock Purchases, which included the Jezreel Valley and Haifa Bay. These purchases were part of a larger effort to establish a Jewish national home in the region.
Key Aspects of Jewish Land Purchases:
Sursock Purchases:
The largest single land acquisition, involving the purchase of land from the Lebanese Greek Orthodox Christian Sursock family, mainly between 1901 and 1925. This purchase encompassed key areas like the Jezreel Valley and Haifa Bay.
absentee landlords:
A significant portion of land was purchased from absentee landlords, including the Sursock family, who were primarily Lebanese and Greek Orthodox Christians.
Ottoman administration:
Some land was acquired through public auctions conducted by the Ottoman administration, where land was sold due to unpaid taxes.
Palestinian landlords:
A smaller portion of land was purchased from Palestinian landlords, including those from feudal families like the Ruk and Kassar families.
British Mandate:
Land purchases continued after the establishment of the British Mandate for Palestine in 1920.
Jewish National Fund (JNF):
The JNF played a crucial role in acquiring land for Jewish settlement.
Eviction of tenants:
The purchase of land was sometimes accompanied by the eviction of Arab tenants, who were often compensated, but in many cases, the compensation was inadequate.
British administration statistics:
British administration statistics showed that by April 1, 1945, Jewish buyers held approximately 5.67% of the Mandate's total land area, increasing to 6.6% by the end of 1947.

Now I wait for examples (name and place) of Ishmael land stolen by Isaacs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_land_purchase_in_Palestine
It has been estimated that by about June 1947, the Jewish minority in Palestine had taken over 1,850,000 dunams** out of a total of 13 million dunams, mainly as a result of TRANSACTIONS between the above-mentioned Jewish institutions and the big Arab landowners of Palestine.
After the war started by Ishmael in 1948 different lah. No more purchases.
wakakakaka…
DeleteMfer, u want an examples (name and place) of Ishmael land stolen by Isaacs?
Ain't u jumping the gun in yr f*cked argument?
Before any contract of sale can be enacted there must be a prior understanding that the transaction is jus in lege.
When the pommie forced the formation of the zionist state w/o the full agreements of the Arab natives in the land of Palestine, ALL subsequent transactions, private & or public within that land, have legal status of null & void!
Mfer, yr mfering logic is ikening to allowing the Nazis Germany & Japan 蝗军 to rightfully retain their war loots from the lands they had run over.
All 3 Sinwars (Yahya, Muhammad, Zakaria) dead - will Harm-ass just return all hostages and surrender. All the killing and suffering will stop. Please.

DeleteWhere there is REAL apartheid:
ReplyDeleteIn Jordan, Palestinians are barred from 39 high-wage professions outside of refugee camps, including law, medicine, and engineering, as well as from owning real estate property outside of the camps. Gazan Palestinians face further restrictions, being prohibited from public sector employment and facing numerous barriers in the private sector, particularly in fields like dentistry, journalism, medicine, and engineering. Additionally, they are not allowed to register with professional societies or establish their own offices or clinics, and require security clearance for private sector job.
In Lebanon, Palestinians are legally barred from a significant number of professions, often referred to as "high-wage professions" or "professional syndicates." This includes areas like law, medicine, engineering, and journalism. These restrictions are often based on the principle of reciprocity, meaning that Palestinians can't work in professions that Lebanese citizens are not allowed to work in their home country, which is Palestine.
In Egypt, Palestinians have faced limitations in certain professions and have been largely excluded from the formal economy, particularly since 1978 when new Palestinian hires in the state sector stopped. As a result, many Palestinians have been confined to informal work in sectors like transportation, repairs, and petty trade. While professionals like doctors and midwives were initially granted the same employment rights as Egyptian nationals, these rights have been eroded over time. Palestinians in Egypt also face challenges in accessing education, healthcare, banking, and employment due to a lack of refugee or residency status.
See, when Ishmaels discriminate against Ishmaels the world doesn’t care. Nothing unusual. Nothing to see. No protest. But if in Isaac-land any slightest discrimination against an Arab will be a major worldwide issue.
However, in Isaac-land:
Arabs are full citizens, can vote and are even specially EXEMPT from having to serve in the IDF!!! Wow!!!
Mfer, what the f*ck r u trying to twist?
DeleteAin't u the mfer who has insisted that Jordan is a Palestine twin? & Jordan should willingly absorb all the Palestinian refugee into its care as citizen.
The policies of Jordan, Lebanon & Egypt in not allowing Palestinian refugees into its professional employment & educational system is complicated by religions, local sentiments & limitations, professional qualification criterias & employment situation within these countries.
Yet, u fail to mentioned that there r many highly qualified Palestinian professionals working in all the land of Levant with no any form of restrictions!
Do remember these Palestinian refugees r foreginers by definition. All the other Arab nations have their 1st priority towards their OWN citizen.
Wakakakaka… "Arabs are full citizens, can vote and are even specially EXEMPT from having to serve in the IDF"
BCOZ these Arabs r citizen, whose right to vote COULDN'T be violated by the zionist elites. They r NOT Palestinian refugees!
The fact that these Arab Israelites r specially EXEMPT from having to serve in the IDF, proving that how little trust they have in the eyes of the mfering zionist administrators. They r in many ways been treated worst than the 2nd class citizen of bolihland!
Ooop… u want to know about how zionists discriminate against Issacs?
cf Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Mizrahi Jewish etc communities & how they r been segregated & treated within yr f*cked land of zion.
A question for all u mfering zionist asslickers.
ReplyDeleteWhy the r no Palestinian refugees in the land of zionist state?
R these refugees choose not to go to the zion land ?
Or they r been blocked to enter any zion land?
The fact that those lands enclosed by the zionist state r relatively more safe as comparing to am the other surrounding nations who r facing incessent attacks by the zionists forces. Human nature would dictate these refugees excaping towards the zionist state. Yet none could be found!
The zionist state wants land but not the native people. Thus forcing the refugees to disperse to other surrounding countries except themselves. Worst comes worst, these mfering zionists would take a page out from the extermination acts of Nazis Germany with a Issac twist!
Since 1948....
ReplyDeleteIn 2023, Isaac's GDP ranked 28th globally by nominal GDP, 51st by total exports, and 24th by GDP per capita. According to Worlddata, Isaac's GDP per capita in 2023 was $52,642, and the total GDP was $513.61 billion. The IMF estimated Isaac's GDP per capita at $58,270 in 2023, placing it among the 13th highest in the world. The Observatory of Economic Complexity reports that Isaac's was the 28th most complex economy in terms of technology in 2021, and the 10th most complex in terms of research in 2023.
What have the Perpetual Refugees who Refuse to Resettle achieved?
wankee guarantees Israel a minimum of $3.8 billion in aid each year
Deletewakakakaka… don't u worry about the GDP of the zionist state in the current standing.
DeleteMost of the western media ain't reporting that the coffee of the zionist state is in critical low. Economy has tanked since the start of the current multifronts conflicts.
The killer touch is Trump is cutting financial & military aids to the zionist state. Hence the zionist elites r going fallout to win a quick war before that happens.
Those silent shylocks allover the world r slowly pulling out their financial backings as true to their moneyed tradition of never backing a tired horse in a race.
Those zionists inmaking that JEWunited ME dream r running out of timevery soon!
