Israeli forces launched another raid on the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip early Monday on claims that Hamas terrorists regrouped there and fired attacks from inside the compound.
The Israeli military last raided Al-Shifa Hospital in November after claiming that Hamas maintained an elaborate command center inside and beneath the facility, which was later confirmed by a US intelligence report released in January.
People sheltering in the hospital said Israeli forces had surrounded the complex early Monday and that snipers were firing at people inside, according to a report by The Associated Press. The people also said the army raided several buildings and detained dozens of people.
The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said around 30,000 people were sheltering at the hospital, including patients, medical staff and people who have fled their homes seeking safety amid the ongoing war between Israeli forces and Hamas terrorists.
"We're trapped inside," said Abdel-Hady Sayed, who has been sheltering in the hospital for more than three months. "They fire at anything moving … doctors and ambulances can't move."
The ministry also claimed the Israeli army was directing gun and missile fire at a building used for specialized surgeries and that a fire started at the hospital's gate.
Israeli military spokesperson, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said the army launched a "high-precision operation" in parts of the medical complex. He said senior Hamas militants had regrouped there and were directing attacks from the compound....

Hamas hiding behind the sick and elderly like rats. It's sad that IDF has to risk its lives to exterminate these vermin . It's also sad that Hamas has so little respect for Palestinian civilians as to hide behind them and inevitable get some killed.
