Palestinian journalist Younis Tirawi said Israeli warplanes bombed the 3rd floor of the Rantisi Pediatric Hospital in Gaza City.

In a post on X, he said: “The third floor is the pediatric cancer department. [There has been] huge damage.

“According to preliminary information, which is yet to be verified, there are dead. Documenting the scene for locals is challenging due to an internet blackout, but a few journalists are en route to the scene.”

The bombing was also reported by local news outlets Palestinian Hadath newspaper, Mayadeen, PA-run newspaper Haya Jadeeda and Quds network.
