Israel’s military reported uncovering weapons and “terror infrastructure” in the hospital, following a clash with fighters outside. They claimed no resistance was met inside from civilians, patients, or staff. Photos showed soldiers with supplies labeled “medical” and “baby food” within the hospital grounds.
The siege has left patients, including newborns, without essential medical power, leading to several deaths. Dr. Ahmed El Mohallalati, a surgeon at Al Shifa, described the harrowing situation as tanks entered, with staff hiding amid fighting. He disputed Israeli claims of militants inside the hospital.
Witnesses reported tanks entering the compound and soldiers conducting searches, with no internal gunfire reported. The United Nations has stressed the importance of protecting medical facilities in conflict zones.
