According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, Israel targeted medical professionals while on humanitarian operations

Israeli soldiers were accused by the Palestinian Ministry of Health of "targeting and killing medical and ambulance personnel during their humanitarian missions to evacuate the victims of aggression."

According to the Palestinian ministry, airstrikes on Friday destroyed 23 ambulances and injured at least 15 medical institutions.

"The Israeli violations against medical personnel, health institutions, and ambulance units are a blatant attack on the laws, conventions, and international norms that stipulate the protection of medical personnel and their facilities during times of conflicts and wars," the Palestinian Ministry of Health stated in a Friday announcement.

The ministry continued by requesting "immediate action to open a secure passage to ensure the arrival of medical supplies, fuel, delegations, ambulance vehicles, and allow the departure of hundreds of wounded and patients before it is too late."

Additionally, the ministry claimed that Israeli forces were attacking Gaza residents while they were attempting to flee their houses.
