IDF says it has entered Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital in ‘targeted operation’ against Hamas
Gaza health ministry says tanks and ‘dozens of soldiers’ inside complex where more than a thousand Palestinian patients, doctors and displaced people are believed to be sheltering
Israeli troops entered al-Shifa hospital early on Wednesday, conducting what it called a “precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area” of the medical complex.
The decision to send troops into the hospital marks an escalation of Israel’s offensive in Gaza but and will fuel calls for a ceasefire that Israel has so far resisted.
