"Israeli Forces Surround Gaza Hospital Amidst Ongoing Fighting"

Israeli forces continue to bombard southern Gaza and have positioned tanks outside the main hospital in Gaza City, claiming that Hamas fighters are using patients as shields. The Israeli military is coordinating the transfer of incubators into Gaza, possibly to evacuate newborn babies from the hospital. The Gaza health ministry reports that dozens of patients, including newborns, have died due to a lack of power and heavy fighting. U.S. President Joe Biden calls for the protection of hospitals, while Hamas offers to release up to 70 women and children hostages in exchange for a five-day ceasefire. In the occupied West Bank, at least six Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces.
