A spokesperson for the Gaza health ministry informed the international media that Israeli forces had conducted a raid on the Shifa hospital complex, raising concerns about the deteriorating conditions in the facility.

Israeli forces released a statement, stating that the operation was carried out based on intelligence and operational necessity, targeting Hamas in a specific area within the Shifa hospital.

They claimed that no harm was caused to civilians or those seeking shelter, but the world witnessed catastrophic scenes in the enclave.

Tel Aviv previously alleged that the Palestinian resistance group was operating a command center beneath Al Shifa hospital and using tunnels under the medical facility to conceal military operations and hold hostages. Gaza officials have refuted these claims.

In late October, Israeli forces escalated ground operations against Palestine as the second phase of a conflict, with deaths in Gaza surpassing 11,000.

With the support of Western allies, Israeli forces intensified their bombardment of Gaza, asserting their right to self-defense.

The hostilities began on October 7 when Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood by launching thousands of rockets and infiltrating Israel. Palestinian militia stated that the incursion was in response to the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and escalating violence by Israel.

As the death toll surpasses 11,000, nearly half of them children, and countless others are trapped under rubble. Over 2 million people have been displaced and are unable to flee the territory.
