Last Updated: October 28, 2025

On October 8, 2023, two paramedics were injured by alleged Israeli strikes in Beit Hanoun area, North of Gaza.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) identified the two wounded paramedics as Mahmoud Yusri Al-Masry and Nour El-Din Hassan Mansour, both PRCS members. The same source reported the strike at 15:40 exactly, in North Gaza, adding that the victims were working due to previous bombing in the area when the incident happened. PRCS claimed that the victims suffered from “bruises and suffocation”, and were taken to the hospital for treatment. @ShehabAgency indicated that dozens of injured “including paramedics” were taken the same day to the Indonesian hospital following “recent raids” in Beit Hanoun – though it did not give details on the name or identity of those wounded.

PRCS is the only source that attributed directly the strike to Israeli forces.
