The Israeli bombing during the past seven days focused on the city of Khan Yunis, and reached the vicinity of Halima al-Sadia School in Jabalia camp, in addition to areas in the north of Gaza City, Nuseirat, and Deir al-Balah.
The occupation army opened fire on a convoy belonging to the United Nations World Food Program, hence diversifying its means to prevent the arrival of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip. It also targeted a police station in Khan Yunis and killed five of its members in a similar attempt to spread chaos and expose aid to theft. A number of Palestinians watched groups suspected of being Israeli soldiers burning the homes of the Palestinians who survived the bombing in northern Gaza. On the other hand, the Israeli occupation threatened to bomb Al-Awda Hospital after ordering its evacuation, besieged the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahia, and bombed the entrance to Al-Shifa Hospital, while the number of newborns who died due to the severe cold reached seven.
