Israeli Strikes on Gaza Kill 300 Palestinians in 2 Days, Including Hospital Director

HeadlineJul 03, 2025

Officials in Gaza say Israeli attacks have killed over 300 Palestinians in the past 48 hours. Among the dead are at least 11 people killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school housing displaced Palestinians west of Gaza City. Another attack on a tent encampment near Khan Younis killed 13 people, including a couple and their four children. Meanwhile, a strike killed renowned cardiologist Marwan al-Sultan, who served as director of Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital. He’s at least the 70th healthcare worker killed by Israel in the past 50 days. His daughter Lubna al-Sultan said her mother, sister and aunt were also killed in the strike.

Lubna al-Sultan: “My father is a cardiologist at the Indonesian Hospital and the hospital’s director. He is neither in any movement nor affiliated with anything. He just cares for the sick, treats them and comforts them throughout the war. … The war must stop. We are hungry. We are scared. We have lost people. I call upon everyone to intensify efforts to stop the war and do whatever they can to calm things down.”
