Israeli strikes on Gaza medical warehouses
Entities: Deir al‑Balah · Hamas · Al‑Aqsa Martyrs Hospital · Al‑Shuhada Al‑Aqsa Hospital · Gaza City (Sheikh Radwan)
Overview
On 31 July 2026 Israeli fighter jets bombed a medicine depot near Al‑Shuhada Al‑Aqsa Hospital in Deir al‑Balah, destroying the warehouse, flattening tents for displaced families and wounding six Palestinian civilians. The next day, 1 August, airstrikes killed two Palestinians in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood and demolished two warehouses used by Al‑Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, damaging its outpatient clinic and supplies for dialysis and wound care. Hospital staff condemned the raid as a “heinous crime,” and witnesses said an evacuation warning was issued before the attacks. The Gaza health ministry reported loss of vital medical consumables. Earlier, on 28 July, Israel carried out separate strikes that also hit Al‑Aqsa Martyrs Hospital’s warehouses and killed two Palestinians in Sheikh Radwan, whom the military identified as Hamas militants. All incidents occurred within the U.S.-mediated cease‑fire that began in October, which the Gaza health ministry says has caused about 1,222 Palestinian deaths over nine months. The August 1 strikes unfolded amid uncertainty over a Hamas disarmament deal announced by U.S. President Donald Trump.
