According to the IDF spokesperson, it seems that civilians in Gaza are being exposed to the horrors of the fighting while Hamas seeks shelter in bunkers and tunnels. However, the presence of Israeli troops on the ground and their advances in Gaza City are challenging Hamas’ control and power. The goal of the IDF is to disrupt Hamas’ ability to conduct combat operations and sustain themselves by attacking their strongholds and infrastructure. So far, they have dismantled more than 15 Hamas strongholds. The IDF spokesperson also denied allegations that they were attacking hospitals, including Al Shifa, which is claimed to be located above Hamas’ main command and control bunker. He stated that they had informed the hospital’s manager and senior staff that they could evacuate to the east of the facility and denied laying siege to Al Shifa. However, Israeli troops are positioned around the hospital and are putting pressure on Hamas combatants. In response to an offer to help move up to 40 babies in a neo-natal unit to safety, the spokesperson acknowledged that it is a complicated situation.Even in peacetime, it is a sensitive medical manoeuvre to move babies like this. However, we want to ensure that these babies and other non-combatants are spared and not affected by the fighting. We are currently working on this and hope to succeed.
Lt Col Conricus expressed these words while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of doing everything in its power to keep civilians in hospitals. Netanyahu claimed that Hamas was purposefully trying to keep them in harm’s way. He also mentioned that an Israeli offer to supply fuel to the hospital had been rejected by the Hamas-run health ministry.
