The Israeli forces once again committed a new crime by attacking tents housing displaced people in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital area in the Deir al-Balah, central Gaza.

The Israeli regime has repeatedly attacked hospitals, safe places, and tents housing refugees, and patients in Gaza's hospital compound over the past year, resulting in hundreds of martyrs and injuries.

The Government Media Office in Gaza reported Saturday that Israeli occupation forces bombed tents housing journalists and displaced people within Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza for the ninth time this year.

The devastating attack, a blatant violation of international law, killed two people and wounded 26 others, with some sustaining critical wounds. Among the injured were two journalists, according to the media office.

The attacks on the hospital's grounds began in January 2024 and occurred on multiple dates: January 10, March 31, July 22, August 4, September 5, September 27, October 7, October 14, and most recently, November 9. The Government Media Office condemned these repeated strikes, asserting that Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital is a civilian-protected facility under international law.

Holding the Israeli occupation, the US, and their allies accountable, the Office described the bombings as part of a "systematic campaign" targeting hospitals, journalists, civilians, and displaced populations in Gaza.

It called on the international community and global organizations to pressure the Israeli occupation to cease these "genocide and ethnic cleansing" operations against civilians and critical infrastructure in the besieged territory.

In a statement marking the 400th day of the genocidal war, officials reported updated figures showing that the Israeli occupation forces had killed 188 journalists, executed 138 academics, professors, and researchers, and taken the lives of 1,054 medical personnel and 85 civil defense workers. 219
