Israel conducts a raid on a crucial Gaza hospital filled with patients and stranded families in search of Hamas operatives

On Wednesday, Israeli forces entered Gaza’s biggest hospital, scouring for signs of Hamas within its premises, including beneath the facility. Inside, newborns and numerous patients endured days without essential resources amid the ongoing conflict outside.

Specifics about the operation were unclear, with conflicting reports from Israeli and Gazan officials regarding the situation at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital. The Israeli military shared footage depicting soldiers carrying boxes labeled as “baby food” and “medical supplies,” while health authorities described a harrowing scene of frightened staff and patients as troops navigated through the hospital buildings.
