Smoke seen rising in Gaza City as homes are set ablaze by Israeli forces

Heavy artillery shelling and aerial bombardment have continued to rock the area near al-Shifa Hospital in west Gaza City as Israeli ground forces continue a deadly military raid there for six days. 

Homes in the vicinity of the hospital have been raided by troops and later set ablaze after residents were either arrested or forced to flee south. 

Smoke was seen rising from several buildings on Saturday, as captured by MEE correspondent Mohammed al-Hajjar.
