The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed an operation inside part of the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, the largest medical facility in the Strip, targeting the terrorist organization Hamas.

American intelligence also confirmed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) are using Al-Shifa and other hospitals for military activities and the holding of hostages, according to U.S. National Security Spokesperson, Rear Admiral John Kirby.
U.S President Joe Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again, a readout said the two “discussed at length ongoing efforts to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas, including many children and a number of Americans.”
