“We are not seeing any restraint. We are seeing a surge in the sheer level of destruction, particularly in Khan Younis and Rafah City, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Rafah, southern Gaza.

“In central Gaza, where some of the most intense bombing is taking place, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah is overwhelmed with the number of injured streaming in. The hospital’s services and medical supplies are not enough.

“Israel’s military also announced it is expanding ground operations in Khan Younis, not only in the eastern and southern parts, but deeper into the city’s central area. As a result, there is deep concern for Nasser Hospital, which is located there,” he adds.
