This section highlights the crimes committed by the occupation against women, including massacres that have claimed the lives of many women due to both deliberate and unintended attacks. The regional director of the agency for Arab countries stated, "The war in Gaza is undoubtedly a war on women, who are paying a heavy price for a war not of their making." Since October 7, 2023, Israeli occupation forces have killed more than ten thousand Palestinian women.
Woman Under Attack in the Hospital
A Palestinian woman documented the bombing of the Arab “Baptist” Hospital in the Zaitoun neighborhood of Gaza City by Israeli occupation aircraft without prior warning, in one of the most heinous massacres committed by the occupation forces in the Strip. The hospital had been a refuge for thousands of displaced citizens who sought shelter after their homes were destroyed, looking for a safe place for the remaining members of their families.
At least 1,000 Palestinians, including martyrs and injured individuals, were transferred to Al-Shifa Medical Hospital from the Baptist Hospital.
