Israeli forces are preparing to push deeper into the heart of Hamas’ stronghold, Gaza City.
One of the key points of this battle is likely to be the largest medical center in the Palestinian enclave, al-Shifa hospital. Declassified intelligence materials shared with the media reveal that Hamas terrorists have been operating next to and under the hospital in a maze of tunnels that form its military headquarters.
Satellite images show areas where Hamas has allegedly forged tunnels and hidden weapons, turning the hospital into a command and control center. The IDF has already contacted the director of the hospital, requesting the evacuation of the patients.
As Israeli forces take control of strategic positions in northern Gaza, hundreds of Gazan civilians have been seen walking along a humanitarian corridor to the southern part of the Strip. Experts believe it is only a matter of time before the IDF takes control of al-Shifa hospital, but the battle is expected to be bloody.
While Israel has no interest in causing casualties at the hospital, the IDF maintains that misuse of the facility by Hamas as a terrorist infrastructure cannot be tolerated.
The situation remains tense, with Israeli airstrikes drawing international criticism, even in cases where subsequent evidence exonerates them. In a tragic incident, Israeli fighter jets hit an ambulance outside al-Shifa hospital, causing multiple casualties. Although Israel claims responsibility, the IDF maintains that each attack is based on intelligence, as Hamas has been blowing up ambulances for military purposes.
The ongoing conflict in Gaza continues to unfold with unpredictable consequences.
