Gaza hospitals have become a focal point for Israeli operations, with the military saying it has found tunnels or military equipment at the Al-Shifa, Rantisi and Al-Quds facilities.
More than half of Gaza’s hospitals are no longer functional, due to either combat, damage, or shortages. Israel has launched a “targeted operation” in Al-Shifa facility it accuses Hamas of using as a command centre.
Israel said its forces were searching Al-Shifa “one building at a time,” and claimed that they found the body of a woman hostage at a building nearby. “Yehudit (Weiss) was murdered by the terrorists in the Gaza Strip and we didn’t manage to reach her in time,” spokesman Daniel Hagari told a televised briefing.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the inaugural session of the 2nd Voice of Global South Summit, said India strongly condemned the deaths of civilians in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
“…We all are seeing that new challenges are emerging from the events in the West Asia region. India has condemned the terrorist attack in Israel on October 7. We have exercised restraint as well. We have given emphasis on dialogue and diplomacy. We also strongly condemn the deaths of civilians in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. After talking to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, we have also sent humanitarian aid to the people of Palestine. This is the time when the countries of the Global South should unite for the greater global good…” Modi said at the summit.
