The exact location was not known but military footage on Saturday showed troops moving through empty sandy areas near Gaza’s northern border fence. Palestinian militants have continued firing rockets into Israel, including toward its commercial hub, Tel Aviv. The break-ins are “a worrying sign that civil order is starting to break down”, said Thomas White, UNRWA’s Gaza director.UNRWA spokeswoman Juliette Touma said the warehouses did not contain any fuel, which has been in critically short supply since Israel cut off all shipments.
The UN said on Monday that strikes hit near Gaza City’s Shifa and Al-Quds hospitals and the Indonesian hospital in northern Gaza in recent days. Israel accuses Hamas of having a secret command post under the hospital but has not provided much evidence. “Under no circumstances, hospitals should be bombed,” the director general of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Robert Mardini, told CBS’s Face The Nation.
Hamas says it is ready to release all hostages if Israel releases all of the thousands of Palestinians held in its prisons. Israel says it targets Hamas fighters and infrastructure and that the militants operate among civilians, putting them in danger.
