Israeli forces besiege Gaza hospital as Hamas offers truce terms
Israeli forces have besieged a hospital in northern Gaza as they continue an offensive to seize territory in the Strip, the Hamas-run health ministry has said.
Medical staff and patients at the Indonesian Hospital, in Beit Lahia, came under “heavy fire preventing the arrival of patients, medical staff, and supplies”, the ministry said on Sunday.
Israel’s military said it had launched “extensive ground operations” over the past day as part of a new offensive aimed at destroying Hamas which it has called “Operation Gideon’s Chariots”.
This week has also seen the deadliest wave of air strikes on Gaza in months.
