Israel Gaza Al Shifa Hospital Operation

It has been a year since the war between Israel and Hamas erupted, a conflict that has brought unspeakable devastation to the Gaza Strip. The days since October 7 have stretched into months of relentless bombings, displacement, and desperation.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza said Monday the Israeli military had withdrawn tanks and vehicles from the complex housing the besieged territory's main hospital, Al-Shifa, days after the launch of a major operation on the site.

Israeli forces besieged two more Gaza hospitals on Sunday, pinning down medical teams under heavy gunfire, the Palestinian Red Crescent said, and Israel said it had captured 480 Hamas operatives in continued clashes at Gaza's main Al Shifa hospital.

More than 140 militants have been killed in four days of fighting in and around Gaza's largest hospital, where the Israeli army's operation is still underway, the military said Thursday.

The World Health Organization said Tuesday that a patient had died in an emergency convoy on route to a Gaza City hospital, during repeated and lengthy Israeli checks.

Among the 39 Palestinians released by Israel under a prisoner exchange program under a four-day truce with Hamas, brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, was a woman named Israa Jaabis who was in Israeli detention for the past eight years.

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 military released security camera footage Sunday it said showed hostages being brought into Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City after being kidnapped in the October 7 Hamas attacks on southern Israel.

As Israel's raids into Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital continue, the defence forces on Friday claimed they had found the body of a hostage, who was kidnapped by Hamas operatives during their October 7 attack, near the hospital.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Israel cannot leave a vacuum in Gaza and would have to maintain a strong force there for the near future to prevent Hamas from re-emerging in the Palestinian enclave, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.

Israel intensified its operations at Gaza's al Shifa hospital after reportedly discovering Hamas weapons and equipment. The United Nations and Middle Eastern countries condemned Israel's raid on the hospital housing thousands, including newborns.

Dozens of Israeli forces, some wearing facemasks and firing guns into the air, early Wednesday raided part of Gaza's biggest hospital, packed with patients and displaced people, in their battle against Hamas operatives.

Israel has launched a "targeted operation" in Gaza's biggest hospital it accuses Hamas of using as a command centre. The hospital is sheltering thousands of sick, displaced Gazans, and the move could intensify international criticism of Israel.
