Israeli Army Radio said that army units took control of the complex and arrested dozens. Ministry of Health confirmed that it was not possible to rescue any of the injured in the Al-Shifa Complex.
Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari spoke earlier about the work of what he described as “senior Hamas leaders” from inside the compound to attack Israel. Hundreds of displaced people and medical staff inside the complex were trapped in the hospital's corridors amid heavy gunfire from the occupation forces. The government media office in Gaza condemned the occupation’s storming of the Shifa complex, describing it as a blatant war crime.
