Israeli military enters al-Shifa hospital

Israel’s military said it had entered al-Shifa hospital on Wednesday. 

"Based on intelligence information and an operational necessity, IDF forces are carrying out a precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area in the Shifa Hospital," the Israeli military said. 

The military said the troops conducting the attack included medical teams and Arabic speakers trained to prepare for“complex and sensitive” environments.

Hamas has denied US and Israeli allegations that it has fighters based in the hospital.
