Israel claims to have killed 20 militants at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City following early morning raid
Fierce fighting has continued around al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, as Israeli troops battled Hamas militants after seizing control of the strategically situated medical complex in an early morning raid.
Separately, Joe Biden spoke by phone with Benjamin Netanyahu in their first call since mid-February. The White House said the US president and Israel’s prime minister discussed the situation in Rafah and efforts increase aid to Gaza. Witnesses said al-Rimal area of Gaza City, where the hospital is located, described the beginning of the Israeli operation.
Gaza’s health ministry said the raid had caused a fire at the entrance of the complex, resulting in cases of asphyxiation among displaced women and children in the hospital.
