Israeli atrocities expand in Gaza

The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said Monday 12 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a hospital in northern Gaza.

Twelve people, included wounded patients and companions, "were killed and dozens wounded as a result of the Israeli occupation targeting the Indonesian Hospital", said ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra.

Israel has warned residents of Gaza's largest refugee camp Jabalia and a nearby coastal camp to evacuate, as the military said Sunday it was "expanding its operational activities in additional neighbourhoods... of the Gaza Strip."

A Hamas health official said more than 80 Palestinians were killed in twin strikes on Jabalia on Saturday, including on a UN school sheltering displaced people.

Social media videos verified by AFP showed bodies covered in blood and dust on the floor of a building, where mattresses had been wedged under school tables.

UN rights chief Volker Turk on Sunday condemned the purported strike on the school as "horrifying", adding that "the horrendous events of the past 48 hours in Gaza beggar belief."

On Monday, Palestinian news agency Wafa said the Indonesian hospital near Jabalia had also come under shelling.
