TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The humanitarian organization Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MER-C) stated that dozens of people were rushed to Indonesia Hospital in Gaza due to Israeli airstrikes in the northern part of the enclave on Tuesday morning, March 18, 2025.
MER-C, in a written statement received in Jakarta on Tuesday as reported by Antara, said that the strike, which occurred before dawn, or around 02:00 a.m. Gaza time, caused at least 13 residents to suffer mild to critical injuries.
The victims were immediately evacuated to the Indonesia Hospital for medical treatment.
MER-C added that the airstrikes showcase that the tensions in Gaza have yet to subside despite the ceasefire deal.
Palestinians were again targeted, adding to the death toll due to unending Israeli aggression.
Previously, the Indonesia Hospital also treated victims of the Israeli attack in Beit Lahia on Saturday, which left nine people dead and six others injured.
Apart from Beit Lahia, Israeli attacks also caused deaths and other injuries in Beit Hanoun, as well as in the Al Mawasi area of Khan Yunis.
As reported by the New Arab, at least 413 Palestinians in Gaza were killed and 562 wounded in the Israeli offensive that began Tuesday morning, the health ministry said, one of the deadliest days since the 17-month genocide in the enclave began.
The bombardment shattered a ceasefire in place since January with dozens of children among the dead.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the offensive after Hamas rejected Israeli demands to change the ceasefire agreement, and officials said the operation was open-ended and expected to be expanded.
The White House said it had been consulted and voiced support for Israel's actions.
A senior Hamas official said Netanyahu's decision to return to war amounted to a “death sentence” for the remaining hostages.
Izzat al-Risheq accused Netanyahu of launching the offensive to try and save his right-wing governing coalition and called on mediators to “reveal the facts” about who violated the ceasefire.
