Israel launches night raid on Gaza al-Shifa hospital
Israeli forces conducted an overnight raid on al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, reportedly involving tanks and heavy gunfire at the facility.
An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson stated that the IDF was conducting a “high precision operation in limited areas” within the hospital, alleging that “senior Hamas terrorists have regrouped” inside and are utilising it as a base for launching attacks.
Unverified footage posted on social media captured heavy gunfire around the hospital.
In another voice message sent to journalists from inside the hospital Muhammad Al-Sayyid said: “The soldiers here inside the complex there are dead and wounded, and the soldiers arrested some young men. The situation here is catastrophic.”
The IDF did not provide prior public notice of its intention to conduct a new operation at al-Shifa.
