Israeli airstrikes kill two and destroy medical warehouses in Gaza
On Saturday, Israel’s military carried out separate air strikes in Gaza. An attack in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of Gaza City killed two Palestinians, which the military said were Hamas militants. Earlier, an air strike in Deir al‑Balah destroyed two warehouses of the Al‑Aqsa Martyrs Hospital that stored essential medicines for dialysis patients and wound‑care supplies, and damaged two additional medicine warehouses and the hospital’s outpatient clinic. No immediate injuries were reported from the warehouse strikes. Witnesses said the military issued an evacuation warning before the attack. Hospital doctor Khalil al‑Daqran called the strike a “heinous crime.” The strikes occurred amid uncertainty over a Hamas disarmament deal announced by U.S. President Donald Trump.
