The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has condemned the recent Israeli strikes on northern Gaza, including a deadly attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital that left several people dead and injured.

The Movement denounced the “fascist Israeli occupation” for what it called as unprecedented crime of ethnic cleansing as the regime forces target shelters, schools and hospitals.

The Movement called on “the Arab and Islamic nation, and the free people of the world, to take urgent action and exert pressure by all means to stop the brutal genocide in the Gaza Strip,” stressing that “the world stands silent in the face of these massacres.”

The statement by Hamas comes following an Israeli attack that targeted the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza on Sunday evening, killing three civilians and injuring several others, according to local sources.

Medical staff have issued urgent appeals for intervention to protect patients and healthcare workers as the situation deteriorates.

Medical sources reported that Israeli forces targeted the hospital with bombs, artillery shells and sniper fire, specifically striking the women's, maternity, and neonatal wards. The attacks caused extensive damage and severed communication with the medical teams inside.

According to sources, the hospital staff gathered in hallways and departments, attempting to shield themselves from shrapnel and gunfire. Electricity was also completely cut off after Israeli drones targeted the hospital’s generators and fuel tanks.

Israel’s assault on Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023, has so far resulted in the killing of 45,259 civilians, the majority of them women and children. Another 107,627 have been injured.
