The Israeli military said it had targeted two Hamas fighters, while local medical staff told Reuters they urged people to provide information that could help identify the two people killed whose bodies were dismembered.

The strike was described as part of a wave of near-daily Israeli attacks on Gaza since a “ceasefire” was agreed by Israel and Hamas last October, and Al Jazeera said more than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since the United States-brokered “truce” began.

Ceasefire tensions

Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire and obstructing US President Donald Trump’s plan to end the Gaza conflict, which includes an eventual Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian enclave and the disarmament of Hamas.

Al Jazeera said Gaza’s Ministry of Health warned that several hospital generators have stopped working in recent days because of shortages of oil, fuel and spare parts, and it said the limited oil Israel has allowed into Gaza covers only emergency needs.

Trump, during a visit to Ireland on Saturday, defended his administration’s record on Gaza, saying, “We put out the fire, and we got all the hostages back.”

The Al Jazeera report also said Israel’s genocidal war has killed at least 73,669 people, mostly women and children, since October 2023, according to local authorities, while CBC said more than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire took effect and that Israel’s military says four Israeli soldiers have been killed.

Hospitals at risk

Al Jazeera said Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported that several hospital generators were nearing shutdown because of a fuel shortage, threatening life-supporting departments in those hospitals.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said its teams transported injured people to hospitals, while Al Jazeera described the strike as hitting the vehicle directly and rescue crews arriving as search operations continued in the area.

Gaza’s Ministry of Health warned that the monthly oil requirement for hospital generators reaches about 2,500 liters, while it said limited quantities of oils allowed in during the previous period were only emergency supplies and did not meet operating requirements.

PressTV added that the ministry said several hospital generators had already stopped operating because of shortages of oil, spare parts and fuel, and it quoted the ministry warning that “The remaining generators are operating around the clock under difficult technical and mechanical conditions and are unable to meet the electricity needs of all life-saving departments.”
