Israel Kills Dozens More in Gaza, Including an Orthopedic Surgeon
Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip killed dozens more Palestinians on Thursday, including an orthopedic surgeon in northern Gaza who was traveling between hospitals.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said an Israeli quadcopter drone shot and killed Dr. Saeed Joda while he was traveling from Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia to Al-Awda Hospital in Jabalia. Both northern Gaza cities have been under a total Israeli siege since early October as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign.
Dr. Joda was believed to be the last orthopedic surgeon in northern Gaza and was injured in a previous strike but continued to work. The Health Ministry said that his killing brought the total number of medical staff killed by Israel since October 2023 to 1,057.
