IDF Targets Southern Gaza as Hamas Remnants Cleared in Northern Gaza City

Israel is shifting its focus from northern Gaza to the south as it continues its campaign against Hamas militants. A UK doctor who worked at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza claims that there were restricted areas where he was not allowed to go due to the presence of "dodgy-looking non-medical characters," suggesting Hamas' influence. The Washington Post issued a correction after falsely reporting a US-brokered deal to pause the conflict and free hostages. Israeli President Isaac Herzog referred to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a "psychopath" during negotiations for the release of hostages. Israeli forces have arrested 300 terrorists for interrogation about Hamas tunnel locations. More than 30 premature babies were evacuated from Al-Shifa hospital due to lack of supplies. Israeli Defense Forces released footage of an attack on Hamas terrorists attempting to fire an anti-tank missile. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the Palestinian Authority for denying Hamas' responsibility for the Oct. 7 massacre. Rep. Dan Goldman emphasized the need to prioritize the release of the approximately 240 hostages held by Hamas. The Israeli military eliminated three senior Hamas commanders in airstrikes, and IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari provided details about the death of an Israeli hostage. A cargo ship allegedly linked to an Israeli billionaire was seized by Iran-backed rebels in the Red Sea.
