Displaced Palestinians fleeing from the area in the vicinity of Gaza City's al-Shifa hospital arrive via the coastal highway at the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on March 18, 2024 amid the ongoing battles between Israel and the militant group Hamas.
Israel says it has killed 90 gunmen since raiding Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital this week | CBC News LoadedIsrael's military said on Wednesday it had killed around 90 gunmen in a raid on Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital, an allegation the militant Hamas group denied.
Israel's raid at the hospital began in the early hours of Monday. The military, which published videos of weapons stashes inside the facility, said it had sent in special forces supported by infantry and tanks, based on intelligence that the hospital was again being used by gunmen. Israel faced fierce criticism last November when troops first raided Al-Shifa hospital. The troops uncovered tunnels there, which they said had been used as command and control centres by Hamas. Hamas and medical staff deny that the hospital is used for military purposes or to shelter fighters.
Medical units that are used for acts harmful to the enemy — and which have ignored a warning to stop doing so — lose their special protection under international law. Blinken will meet Saudi leaders in Jeddah and Egyptian leaders in Cairo to discuss talks brokered by Egypt and Qatar on an agreement as well as efforts to get more aid into Gaza, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement.
