Sparking Controversy, Israeli Military Operation in Gaza Hospital Comes at High Risk
The Shifa Hospital raid: A critical moment in the Israel-Hamas war
By Keren Setton/The Media Line
Israeli forces raided the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip after days of building up tensions and warnings.
Claiming “operational necessity,” Israeli soldiers were seen entering Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. Footage on news outlets showed patients, some of them babies, being transported around the hospital. Gunfire could be heard in the background. The operation comes three weeks after the Israeli military began its ground operation in the Gaza Strip and five weeks after the beginning of its war against Hamas. According to a statement released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the operation was a “precise and targeted” one, with the goal of finding “Hamas terror infrastructure and weapons.”
