Israel Strikes Again, Attacks Gaza, Killing a Palestinian Hospital Nurse

JAKARTA - A Palestinian nurse was killed in an Israeli attack that hit a police post in the city of Deir Al-Balah, central Gaza Strip.

Citing WAFA via AFP, Sunday, May 31, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah said the Israeli attack also left three other people injured.

The nurse of the deceased victim was identified as Jamal Abu Aoun. He worked at Yafa Hospital in Deir al-Balah. His body was buried in the afternoon in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

The Israeli military, whose attacks on Gaza often take civilian lives, did not immediately respond to media inquiries.

Abu Aoun was the latest victim of an Israeli attack on the coastal area of Palestine on Saturday, May 30.

The Israeli attack on Gaza came as a ceasefire deal took effect in October 2025, which was supposed to end the more than two-year war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

Medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced that the number of Palestinian citizens killed by Israeli military attacks in Gaza since October 2023 continues to skyrocket.

The number as of Saturday, May 30, 2026, was 72,938 dead and 172,919 others injured.
