The devastating airstrike led to a toll of at least 500 fatalities and numerous injuries, according to health ministry.

In addition to the mourning period, President Abbas has directed that flags be flown at half-mast as a symbol of respect and mourning for the victims of the israeli aggression on al-Ahli hospital and for all Palestinians killed by the occupation forces.

The declaration emphasizes the gravity of the situation and the collective grief felt across the Palestinian territories in the wake of the recent attacks. (ILKHA)
