82 Palestinians killed in new Israeli massacres in Gaza as Trump wraps up Middle East visit - War on Gaza
At least 82 people were killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza on Friday, as Donald Trump concluded his multi-day tour of the Gulf that skipped Israel and offered no prospect for a ceasefire in the war-battered territory.
Overnight and early morning Israeli strikes on Friday hit several areas across the strip, including the outskirts of Deir al-Balah and the city of Khan Younis.
At least 66 bodies were taken to the Indonesian hospital, according to medical staff. Another 16 were transported to Nasser hospital, health officials said.
The Director General of Gaza's health ministry said Israeli forces had killed more than 250 people in the past 36 hours.
He added that over 150 injured people had been admitted to Al-Awda and the Indonesian hospitals.
A spokesperson for Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told Al Jazeera that Gaza's hospitals are unable to cope with the number of critically wounded.
He said operating rooms were at capacity and warned Israeli forces were deliberately targeting hospitals throughout the Palestinian territory.

The wave of attacks in northern Gaza came as Trump wrapped up his visit to Gulf states on Friday. The former US president did not stop in Israel.
There had been hopes that his regional tour might help broker a ceasefire or secure a resumption of humanitarian aid into Gaza, where Israel's blockade has entered its third month.
On Thursday, medical sources reported that 136 Palestinians had been killed across the territory, including 83 in the south, five in the central region, 11 in Gaza City and 37 in the north.

Israel's war on Gaza has killed nearly 53,000 people and injured around 120,000, most of them women and children, according to Gaza's health ministry.
More than 11,000 people remain missing, presumed buried under rubble or lying in the streets.
Rescue teams continue to face major obstacles reaching them due to ongoing bombardment and widespread destruction.

Israel and Iran order citizens living near nuclear facilities to evacuate
In an escalatory move, Iran and Israel ordered citizens living nuclear facilities to immediately evacuate. The Israeli army issued an urgent warning to Iranian citizens, calling on them to evacuate areas near nuclear and weapons facilities across Iran immediately. Tehran responded with another warning to anyone 'present' in weapons factories or near oil refineries, nuclear facilities, and research institutes in the occupied territories, stressing further 'operations against Israel with greater ferocity.' Strikes continue Tehran continued targeting Israeli facilities with missiles, destroying several multi-story buildings in central Israel, Tel Aviv, and Bat Yam, leaving 35 dead and more than 200 injured. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Iran's response was aimed at self-defense. Araghchi added in a press conference on Sunday that 'Iran's response came by targeting the Haifa oil refinery,' noting that 'expanding the conflict with Iran is a major strategic mistake aimed at igniting war in the region.' He emphasized that his country has carefully monitored US support for Israel in launching its attack. 'From our perspective, the US is a partner in the attacks and must bear responsibility for them,' he explained, noting that, 'Tehran is confident in the integrity of its nuclear program and is prepared to demonstrate this confidence to the world, as it did in 2015.' The White House issued a statement, saying, 'What is happening today cannot be prevented, but we have the ability to reach a successful peaceful resolution to this conflict if Iran is willing,' reiterating its call for Tehran to abandon its nuclear program. Experts emphasized that the US is playing a complex balancing act, seeking to ensure Israel's superiority. The advisor to the Nasser Academy for Military Sciences, Major General Mohamed Qashqoush, said that Washington seeks to ensure Israel's superiority while maintaining a balance that prevents any party from dominating 100 percent of the situation. An expert on Iranian affairs, Mohamed Abadi, stated that Iran is following a strategy of proportional response to Israeli attacks, targeting facilities similar to those that are subject to attack. And an expert on Israeli affairs, Ahmed Anwar, described Iran's targeting of Israeli missile launchers and air defense platforms as highly precise and a challenge to the readiness of this system.
