"Hamas' Use of Hospitals as Weapon Depots Exposed by Israel"

Israeli troops have stormed Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, claiming to have found weapons, including rifles, ammunition, body armor, and military equipment. Israel alleges that Hamas has been using the hospital as a military command center, while Hamas denies these accusations. The seizure of the hospital could impact international sentiment about the conflict and ongoing negotiations for the release of hostages held by Hamas. The United Nations, Turkey, and Jordan have condemned the raid, expressing concern for the safety of civilians and medical staff. The U.N. aid chief called for the protection of hospitals as they are not battlegrounds. The World Health Organization expressed worry and reported a loss of contact with medical personnel at Al-Shifa. The U.S. denies having advance knowledge of the raid, and Israel believes it will pressure Hamas to finalize a hostage exchange deal. The U.N. agency aiding Palestinians received a small amount of fuel in Gaza but complained that it was insufficient.
