Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes near the Al-Shifa Hospital and Indonesian Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip late Friday, in renewed attacks on health facilities.

No information was available on casualties.

The airstrikes also targeted the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

Clashes were reported between Palestinian resistance fighters and Israeli forces in different areas in northern Gaza, it added.

Hamas’ armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, said its fighters were resisting an Israeli ground invasion in the Beit Hanoun area in northern Gaza and east of the al-Bureij camp.

Another Gaza-based Palestinian group, Islamic Jihad, also said its fighters were confronting attempts by Israeli forces to advance into Gaza.

The Israeli army on Friday widened its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless airstrikes since a cross-border attack by Hamas.

The conflict escalated dramatically after Hamas’ military wing carried out an unprecedented attack on Israel on Oct. 7 by firing thousands of rockets and sending hundreds of fighters into Israeli towns.
