The IDF launched an operation at Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza on Monday.
A picture shows smoke billowing after Israeli bombardment in the vicinity of the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City on March 23, 2024, amid ongoing battles between Israel and the militant group Hamas., Al-Shifa, one of the "single largest and most successful" operations in the nearly six-month war with Hamas.
IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Thursday the operation at Al-Shifa would go on "for some days."The IDF did not release video Sunday from the hospital, but in recent days released footage of food and water being delivered by special units to the roughly 3,000 civilians estimated to be sheltering in the hospital, according to the IDF and Palestinian health officials.
Palestinian woman Nozha Awad flees Al Shifa hospital following an Israeli raid with her triplet children, moving southward in the central Gaza Strip, March 21, 2024. Israeli forces raided Al Shifa hospital on Monday where Awad and her children were taking refuge. The Gazan mother, who was besieged at the hospital for three days, said she lived in famine-like conditions and her children became malnourished due to the lack of food, water and milk.
Israel has said it has not conducted targeted attacks against hospitals and claims Hamas misuses hospitals -- operating inside and underneath them in tunnels and using them as command centers, as well as to store weapons. The IDF has released videos it claims are evidence of Hamas operations. Hamas denies the accusations.
