Israel adds three hospitals to this week’s ‘kill list’ as genocide toll breaches 42 000

Genocidal Israel is bombing Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, one of three hospitals it has on this week’s “kill list”, threatening to murder anyone it finds on their premises.

Kamal Adwan, Al-Awda, and the Indonesian Hospitals in northern Gaza, which shelter and treat at least 700,000 Palestinians, including thousands of critical patients and an overwhelming number of women, children, and elderly, have all been told: move or die.

Should they remain on hospital grounds, the military warned all individuals would be direct targets and under Israeli bombardment.

This as Israel murdered another 45 Palestinians and wounded 130 others overnight as it stepped up its aggression in northern Gaza where over 400 000 people are trapped. That took the death toll in 367 days of murder to 42 010, with 97 720 wounded.

Israel free to kill everywhere, anywhere

The Palestinian Red Crescent said Wednesday dozens of people were wounded, but it was unable to get to them because of the ground invasion of Jabalia where soldiers were “firing at anyone who moves”, Al-Jazeera reports.

An air strike early Wednesday killed at least nine people, including two women and two children.

Most people have ignored the evacuation demands, simply because they know Israel is free to kill them, no matter where they go. No where is safe. Israel even attacked a single tent housing a family last night.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu gloated over the fruits of his labours, warning Lebanon would face the same destruction “like Gaza”, making clear he intends exporting his genocide blitzkrieg to neighbouring countries.

He called on Hezbollah to surrender and save Lebanon “before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza,” in a video statement.

The extermination spreads

Israel has also ordered all people living in Lebanon’s coastal areas and in Beirut’s northern suburbs to evacuate.

If Israel has its way, they will soon be experiencing first-hand the horrors of Gaza.

The enclave’s Government Media Office said Wednesday the occupation has begun besieging Kamal Adwan Hospital, targeting its administration with direct fire and was blocking fuel deliveries, jeopardizing vital operations.

It urged the international community to immediately mobilize and protect the hospitals, before everyone inside, be it medical personnel, civilians, and patients, are executed, as happened during the notorious destruction of Al-Shifa Hospital which used to be the biggest in Gaza.

The genocidal state has declared northern Gaza a “military zone”. Effectively, that means it has given itself the right to wipe out any human life its soldiers may encounter in the targeted towns as it intensifies its bombardment and invasion.

This follows a call by Israeli Minister of Diaspora, Amichai Chikli, to occupy the northern Gaza Strip and ethnically cleanse it of all Palestinians.

‘Blatant violation’

Chikli proposed the establishment of another “security corridor” that would swallow up two large Palestinian towns, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia, which together house over 140 000 people.

Al-Mayadeen reports Hamas said Israel’s threats were a blatant violation of international laws and a criminal attempt to implement ethnic cleansing.

The evacuation threats amounted to “a death sentence for the thousands of patients and wounded within them, including women, the elderly, and children,” it said.

Israel also kept up it aggression in the West Bank, detaining at least 25 Palestinians, including a journalist and former prisoners during raids in Hebron, Qalqilya, Jenin, Ramallah, Nablus, Tulkarem, Tubas and Bethlehem, Al Jazeera reports.
