The Israeli military conducted a raid on Gaza's largest hospital, Al-Shifa Hospital, in an operation against Palestinian Hamas fighters. Hamas claims that around 7,000 civilians are trapped inside the hospital and are under constant fire from Israeli snipers. The Israeli military stated that the raid was based on intelligence information and was a precise and targeted operation against Hamas. Israel has accused Hamas of using the hospital and tunnels beneath it for military operations and to hold hostages. The fate of Al-Shifa has become a cause for concern internationally due to worsening conditions in the facility and calls for a humanitarian cease-fire.
