War on Gaza: Israel continues to storm Al-Shifa Hospital and commits 8 new massacres

The Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the Israeli army committed 8 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, including 81 killed and 116 injuries to hospitals during the past 24 hours, which raises the death toll to 31,726 dead and 73,792 injured since last October 7.


It pointed out that there are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.


Here are the latest developments: Israeli tanks and bulldozers continue to besiege and storm the Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza amid heavy gunfire.


A number of citizens were killed and others were injured during the Israeli occupation forces' storming of Al-Shifa Medical Hospital in Gaza City.


According to the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, medical teams are unable to save the injured due to the intensity of the Israeli fire targeting them and targeting anyone who approaches the windows.


The Ministry also confirmed that a fire broke out at the hospital gate, causing suffocation cases among the displaced and trapped women and children until this moment, while the occupation cut off communications from them.


Meanwhile, local sources indicated that the occupation forces arrested dozens of citizens from inside Al-Shifa Medical Complex.


In Nuseirat, medical sources reported that 9 citizens were killed and a number of others were injured after the Israeli warplanes bombed a house in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.


Violent clashes are taking place in the vicinity of the hospital between the resistance and the Israeli forces, which suddenly entered under heavy fire cover and besieged the hospital, in light of bombing that targeted parts of it.


The Israeli army said that joint forces from the army and the Shin Bet are continuing a focused military operation at the Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City.


Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari claimed that Hamas officials were working from within the compound against Israel.


Hagari said at dawn on Monday, "Army forces began a limited operation in the vicinity of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex based on intelligence information indicating the presence of Hamas officials inside it."


Hagari spoke about what he described as “senior leaders in Hamas” working from within the complex to attack Israel, as he put it.
