Israeli soldiers remain inside Gaza’s largest hospital in their fight against Hamas

Israeli soldiers remain inside Gaza’s largest hospital today. Hundreds of patients, doctors and evacuees are there, too, writes NPR.

Al-Shifa Hospital was surrounded by gun battles for days. Yesterday, Israeli troops went in. It’s part of what Israel says is a deepening invasion into northern Gaza.

Meanwhile, residents in the south of the strip say Israeli forces are dropping leaflets urging evacuations. They’re suggesting the ground war in Gaza may soon expand.

Gaza’s health ministry says Israeli troops are searching the underground levels of that hospital. It says they’ve detained technicians who run equipment there. Israel’s military, meanwhile, has been issuing videos produced - highly produced videos with music showing what it says is evidence of militant operations inside Al-Shifa Hospital.
