When Khulud Jarboueh and her children fled their home in the northern Gaza Strip under Israeli bombardment in early October, the young ones were wearing just shorts and T-shirts.

Israel's security forces claim to have discovered a Hamas-operated tunnel that leads to a hospital in Gaza amid criticism that their ground operations have left medical facilities inoperative in the blockaded strip.

Gaza's largest hospital has stopped functioning, the World Health Organization said as hundreds of patients remain trapped at this latest focal point of Israel-Hamas ground battle in the blockaded Palestinian territory.

Gaza witnessed intense raids last night with Israeli army claiming a top Hamas commander and several operatives being killed in air attacks on 150 "underground targets" in the northern part of the blockaded strip.

Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh urged Palestinians Saturday to reject "displacement" within the Gaza Strip or out of the blockaded enclave to Egypt, following Israeli air strikes and calls to evacuate.

The skies were illuminated with rocket trajectories as a NDTV crew made their way to Ashkelon, a coastal city few kilometres from Gaza, the blockaded strip where Israel is fighting an all-out war against Palestinian groups.
