Israel said its military entered Gaza’s biggest hospital, Al-Shifa, early Wednesday in a “precise and targeted operation” against Hamas. Israel says Hamas has a command center under the hospital, which Hamas denies.
Witnesses said Israeli tanks entered the grounds and parked outside the emergency department, and commandos rushed in, searching room by room. Hamas says patients are dying and thousands of civilians are trapped in the hospital, which stopped operating days ago due to a days-long siege and a lack of electricity and supplies.
A spokesperson said United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is calling for an immediate cease-fire, “in the name of humanity.”
President Joe Biden has called for protecting the hospital.
