Amidst escalating tensions in Gaza, Israel's military has announced on Wednesday that it is conducting what the IDF called a "precise and targeted" operation against Hamas in al-Shifa hospital.
According to Sabrina Singh, U.S. Defence Department spokesperson, Hamas and PIJ members are using tunnels underneath hospitals to operate a command-and-control center from al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. “They have weapons stored there and are prepared to respond to an Israeli military operation against the facility,” she said.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said the Israeli war in Gaza amounts to a “war on hospitals” after IDF troops raided Gaza's biggest hospital.
Meanwhile, the director of Doctors without Borders' Health Monitoring Program in Amman described the escalation in Gaza as "the most intensified targeting of health facilities that we ever witnessed."
Martin Griffiths, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, emphasized that hospitals should not be used as shields by Hamas. Griffiths expressed his concern on social media platform X, stating, “Hospitals are not battlegrounds."
