I don't believe for a minute the IDF is going to bomb the hospital. I do think they could be surrounding the place in order to offer safe passage for those who wish to evacuate and are physically able to.

Moo... It becomes a waiting game, nothing in, only those surrendering out.

No food, no supplies, no ambulances. Access to many escape tunnels were destroyed.

I guess the UN to kick into high gear.

IDF says troops of its 7th Armored Brigade raided a Hamas outpost and training camp in the northern Gaza Strip over the past day, seizing dozens of weapons and killing some 30 terror operatives.

The IDF says troops captured assault rifles, missiles, mortars, drones, maps, communications equipment, and other technological equipment from the site.

It says the troops also raided the offices of Muhammed Sinwar, the brother of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, capturing weapons and other materials.

In another operation carried out by the 7th Brigade with members of the elite combat engineering Yahalom unit, troops raided a Hamas outpost belonging to the terror group’s Sabra neighborhood battalion.

The IDF says troops found anti-aircraft missile operation and calibration systems, several drones, a loaded rocket launcher, technological equipment, and intelligence documents, in the outpost.

If not, will this force them out, revealing more entry points?

I feel confident, many eyes are closely monitoring satellite imagery, just waiting for the rats to emerge.

Will the medical staff continue to protect Hamas or will they surrender, to save lives at the hospital?
Will they encourage those sheltering to leave?

Fate of hostages whose release was promised remains unknown​

There is no news this morning about the fate of two Israeli hostages whose release was promised by the military wing of the Islamic Jihad group yesterday.

Abu Hamza, a spokesperson for the Al-Quds Brigade, said in a video on the Telegram messaging app yesterday that Hanna Katsir, 77, would be released for health reasons because they could not provide her with medicine.

He also said that 12-year-old Yagil Yaqoub would be freed. In a statement earlier this week, Israel’s government said the child had a life-threatening peanut allergy.

The International Committee of the Red Cross told NBC News today that it would need guarantees. “We cannot force our way through the bullets,” spokesperson Alyona Synenko said.

UNICEF calls for unconditional release of hostages in response to video of child held by militant group​

[...]

The armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group (PIJ) said Thursday it is prepared to release two Israeli hostages on humanitarian grounds. One is a 77-year-old woman, the other is a 13-year-old boy – and both were shown in a video released by PIJ, a rival Islamist militant group to Hamas in Gaza.

CNN is not naming the two hostages at this point, nor is it showing the video, following a request by the families of the two hostages for their privacy to be respected at this time.

In a text statement, Abu Hamza, a leader of Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of PIJ, said that his group is prepared to release one hostage “for medical reasons” and a second “for humanitarian reasons and for his young age.” Hamza did not elaborate on the timing or circumstances under which the hostages might be released.

It was the first time PIJ has released video confirmation that it — and not just Hamas — is holding hostages.

Rafah border crossing open for around 600 foreign nationals today​

The Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt is preparing to receive 595 foreign passport holders, according to the spokesman for Egypt's North Sinai governorate.

Most of the foreign nationals are Russian, Ukrainian and Egyptian. So far, 3,828 have been able to leave Gaza, not including those slated to exit today. At the start of the war, there was an estimated 7,500 foreigners in Gaza.

Evacuations from the border crossing are heavily negotiated, and have included more than 400 U.S. citizens, among other countries, as well as injured Palestinians.

Abbas says PA willing to take control of Gaza, but only under a broader deal​

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas reiterates that the PA is ready to take control of the Gaza Strip again following Israel’s war with Hamas, but says that will only happen if the move is part of a comprehensive political solution that includes a Palestinian State established along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Israel has said it intends to retain security control of Gaza for an indefinite period once it ends its military incursion to destroy the Hamas terror group that currently rules the Strip, but does not intend to re-occupy the enclave.

[...]

In a speech marking the 19th anniversary of the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, Abbas calls to preserve Arafat’s “legacy” and protect the Palestine Liberation Organization – which controls the PA – as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people – thereby disavowing its rival movement Hamas.

[...]

The PA leader refuses to condemn Hamas for the ongoing war ... and holds Israel “fully responsible” for the conflict, adding that military solutions will not bring security or peace to anyone.

Thousands of people sheltering at Shifa hospital have fled after strikes - reports​

Palestinian evacuees fleeing Gaza’s northern combat zone have told the Associated Press that thousands of displaced people who had sheltered at Shifa Hospital in the heart of Gaza City have fled following overnight explosions there.

The hospital had been sheltering nearly 80,000 people.

Some of those fleeing Friday said only a few hundred badly wounded patients and doctors remained behind. Doctors at Shifa Hospital could not immediately be reached for comment because of phone and internet connectivity disruptions.

The Israeli army has alleged that Hamas hides in and under hospitals and that it has set up a command center under Shifa — claims the militant group and hospital staff deny.

Gaza health officials said strikes were carried out near four hospitals overnight and early Friday.

A senior Israeli security official told the Associated Press that a review was being carried out and that initial findings indicated that one strike at Shifa was the result of a misfire by militants.

Egypt’s Sissi hosts Qatar leader for Gaza ceasefire talks​

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani meet to review “intensive efforts” toward a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, Cairo says.

[...]

In Cairo, Sissi and Sheikh Tamim “discussed the Israeli military escalation in the Gaza Strip, and the subsequent regional challenges that push the region in dangerous and uncalculated directions,” the Egyptian presidency says in a statement.

“The two leaders discussed the best ways to protect innocent civilians in Gaza and to stop the bloodshed,” it adds.

[...]

Israel has rejected calls for truce, demanding first that the estimated 239 hostages seized on October 7, who are thought to be held in Gaza, are released.

Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, who is usually based in Qatar, on Thursday met with Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel “for discussions on the current situation in the Gaza Strip,” the terror group said.

Verified social media shows dead and wounded at Gaza's Shifa hospital

Hamas has prevented hospital workers from evacuating Shifa Hospital, according to Israeli media.

Asked about the Gaza health ministry's allegation of an Israeli strike on the hospital courtyard, WHO spokesperson Margaret Harris said: "I haven't got the detail on Al Shifa but we do know they are coming under bombardment". Asked to elaborate, she said there was "intense violence" at the site, quoting colleagues on the ground. She did not specify who was perpetuating the violence.

Foreign reports claim that as the IDF evacuates two Gaza Strip hospitals, allowing hospital administrators to bring patients through the humanitarian corridor Friday. Hamas has, in contrast, prevented hospital workers from evacuating Shifa Hospital, according to Israeli media.

US officials: Hamas pushes misinformation to play the victim

False information is being spread in part because the media and UNRWA, the UN agency responsible for Palestinian refugees, parrot Hamas lies and distortions, Committee on Foreign Affairs hearing told

www.jpost.com

[...]

Misinformation is spreading so fast partly because the media and UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, "parrot" Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry statistics, Mast said, which ultimately leads to misinformation responsible for anti-Semitic attacks across the United States.

When Mast asked Leaf why combatants are not included in the Gaza Health Ministry's body count, she told him it was because the ministry includes dead Hamas terrorists in its civilian casualty reports.

"They expect the world to believe that all these people and these groups … that none of them are combatants. And that is what they want the world to believe and that is what the United Nations goes out and parrots and that is what the media goes out and parrots," Mast said.

The experts agreed that the number of Palestinians actually killed is unknown.

Gazans can't, because their hospital basements serve Hamas Terror HQ.

That's why we've been urging them for a month to move south for safety.
