The director of Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital was killed along with several family members in an Israeli air strike on his home in the city of Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry said.

The ministry represented, Dr Marwan Sultan, as a symbol of medical commitment and condemned his killing as a “heinous crime.”

Lubna al-Sultan, the daughter of Dr Marwan Sultan, said that an Israeli missile directly aimed his room. All the rooms remained intake except his. She further added that her father has no connections with any political party and his main focus was only on treating patients.

Meanwhile, at least five people were killed and others injured, including children, in a strike on the al-Mawasi "safe zone",one of several other attacks reported by news agencies.

Besides, at least 139 people were killed by Israeli military operations across Gaza in the 24 hours before midday on Wednesday, the health ministry said.

The Israeli military, however, claimed that it had struck a “key terrorist” in Gaza city but was evaluating the claims of civilian fatality. It put blame on Hamas for using residential areas as shields while the IDF stated it regrets any harm to uninvolved civilians.

The Indonesian Hospital, which was once a major facility in northern Gaza providing crucial support to the victims and injured people, has been out of service following frequent Israeli air strikes.

Additionally, the UN also said that there are no running hospitals left in northern Gaza.

According to the health ministry, Israel's military offensive in Gaza has killed more than 57,000 people, including more than 15,000 children.
