"Israeli Forces Conduct Intense Bombings Near Gaza Hospitals During Blackout"

Israeli forces continue heavy shelling around hospitals in Gaza, including the largest hospital, Al Shifa, amid a blackout of communications and internet services. The Israeli military accuses Hamas of using hospitals for military purposes, while Hamas denies the charge. Concerns are raised for the safety of patients, health workers, and civilians seeking shelter in hospitals. The World Health Organization calls for an immediate ceasefire and protection of civilians and healthcare. Since the conflict began, 39 health facilities have been damaged, and at least 9,770 Palestinians, including 4,008 children, have been killed. Nearly 1.5 million people are internally displaced in Gaza.
