Levent Kemal reports on X/Twitter : Clashes in Gaza’s western flank intensify around hospitals, approximate latest situation:
– According to the hospital director who spoke to Al Jazeera a few hours ago, Rantisi Hospital has been under siege for nearly three days. Clashes are still ongoing around the hospital.
– According to reports, Al-Shifa Hospital has also been besieged by the Israeli army. Local reports have said that the Israeli army reached al-Wahda Street. The hospital is thus besieged.
– Approaching al-Quds hospital at noon, the Israeli army surrounded the hospital about two hours ago.
#Gaza situation update:
The #IDF has advanced around the extremely high-density buildings of Al Shati camp towards the east of the Shifa hospital.
Further advances from the South bring the hospital within 700 meters of being surrounded, if it hasn’t been already. pic.twitter.com/x7nhBMgTez

“The fact that Hamas conceals its fighters and commanders beneath Shifa Hospital is a widely known yet unspoken truth in Gaza. Hamas exploits this tactical advantage, banking on the unlikelihood of Israeli forces attacking the hospital. And as IDF ground operations in Gaza continue, more evidence of Hamas’s transgressions against its own people will gradually come to light.”—Joe Truzman, Research Analyst at FDD’s Long War Journal
Hamas has a long history of placing military assets inside and below civilian sites. The terrorist group also fires rockets from these areas, putting Palestinians in harm’s way. Footage from the 2014 Gaza war shows Hamas launching rockets from the premises of al-Wafa Hospital in Gaza City, rendering the facility a military target. International law prohibits the use of hospitals for military activity.
In October, Hamas quickly blamed Israel for an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that struck a parking lot near Gaza’s al-Ahli Hospital. In the morning, pictures showed that the hospital building were not damaged and there were about ten burned cars in a small parking lot by the hospital. Hamas had instantly claimed the blast killed over 500 civilians, but the U.S. intelligence community estimated that 100 to 300 people died, while a European official put the figure at 50 or less. A relatively small explosion in a parking lot with some people on a lawn one hundred feet away is not consistent with high casualty figures. Hamas uses their own civilians as human shields and uses hospitals for military operations and propoganda.

“There is no shooting at the hospital and there is no siege.
The East Side of the hospital remains open.”

A hospital in Gaza funded by foreign Muslim donors was custom-built with tunnels for Hamas terrorists to use according to Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces produced video evidence that it said proved that two hospitals in Gaza, funded by donors from Qatar and Indonesia, were equipped with underground tunnels that were part of Hamas’s terror Metro.
The IDF alleged that Hamas fighters had opened fire on Israeli troops from the buildings of Gaza’s Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani Hospital, built by Qatar’s former ruler in 2016.
And they said that the Indonesia Hospital, funded by Indonesian donors including the Indonesian Red Cross Society, had been specially equipped with tunnels for Hamas to use when its foundations were first laid.
“Hamas systematically built the Indonesia Hospital to disguise its underground terror infrastructure,” said Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, an IDF spokesman, in a media briefing.
Many sources have reported on the Hamas tunnel network.

The joint Riyadh Statement reads “all countries to cease all weapons exports to Israel.”
But no mention of ceasing arms imports from Israel.
Currently, Arab states make up 24% of Israel’s arms exports, amounting to 3 billion dollars annually https://t.co/cbh7OAYEbt
