Israel raids Gaza hospital

Israel’s brutality in the Gaza Strip shows no sign of abating. The regime forces have carried out a military operation against Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The Israeli military said it is conducting the operation in a quote "specific area". Hamas resistance movement said in a statement that Israel’s neo-Nazi leaders and the US president were fully responsible for the consequences of the regime’s raid on Shifa hospital. The Islamic Jihad Movement also said the US is a partner in the crime that Israel is committing at Shifa hospital. The Palestinian Authority’s Health Ministry also held Israeli forces fully responsible for the lives of medical staff, patients and displaced people at the Hospital. On Tuesday, Israeli airstrikes pounded Shifa Hospital and its intensive care unit. The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said dozens of people were killed in the attacks. The situation in Deir el-Balah hospital in the central Gaza Strip also remains life-threatening amid Israel’s bombardment. 

Gaza hospitals under fire

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has slammed the United States for accusing it of having a command center at the Shifa Hospital complex. Hamas said the White House is giving the green light to Israel by such accusations to intensify the massacre of Palestinians taking refuge in hospitals and medical facilities. The resistance movement said such accusations are made with the main objective of destroying Gaza’s healthcare system and displacing more Palestinians. The group said the United States is directly responsible for enabling Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. The White House earlier said it has evidence Hamas is using Shifa Hospital to run its military operations and store weapons. A senior Hamas official has dismissed similar accusations by Israel, calling them "naive attempts" by the regime to cover up its defeat in Gaza.

Yemen hits Israeli targets

Yemen’s military says it has successfully fired a barrage of ballistic missiles as positions of the Israeli regime in the occupied Palestinian territories. Spokesman Yahya Saree said the Yemeni strikes hit crucial targets in the Umm al-Rash-rash area near the city of Eilat. The Yemeni official said the military will not hesitate in targeting Israeli ships in the Red Sea or any spot within reach. Saree said the Yemeni armed forces will continue operations against Israel until the regime stops its savage war machine that has killed more than eleven-thousand Palestinians since early October. Earlier the leader of Ansarullah movement said Yemen will constantly monitor the movement of Israeli ships especially in Bab al-Mandab. He said Yemen’s drone units will continue hitting targets inside the occupied territories.
