I just read a few articles, one doctor said that he is happy that the IDF are inside the hospital because now the hospital is not being shot at. They might be feeling a bit safer.
Gaza Doctor Celebrates End Point to Attacks
Then I read another article where a hospital medic escaped to another town - apparently a few of the medics and others want to get away from the hospital - and IDF snipers are shooting at them. Probably thinking they are Hamas. imo

“U.S. Relied on Intercepts in Assessing Hamas’s Operations at Gaza Hospital—
Signals intelligence gathered independently of Israel was among information behind assessment that Hamas and other militants were using Al-Shifa Hospital complex” via
U.S. Relied on Intercepts in Assessing Hamas’s Operations at Gaza Hospital - WSJ
Why are you not outraged?
Why are you not shaking with anger?
Why are you not crying with us?

Twenty one year old Maya Regev has so many plans for the future! She has a flight ticket to South America for the end of December, plans to travel with her mother in the Far East and study in university.
When you meet her, you will be charmed by her sense of humor, energy and love of life. She always knows the right thing to say and do.Maya and her younger brother Itay went to the Nova Festival after returning the evening before from a family vacation in Mexico. She managed to call her father and tell him they were being fired upon. At 9:00 am contact with them was lost. Hamas published a video showing them captive on a truck.
The parents of Maya and Itay are waiting for their children to come home. We join them in calling for their immediate return.#BringThemHomeNow
“River to the Sea” ideology, insistence that there is no room for Israel in any borders, is the root cause of this conflict. Until the international community firmly repudiates this and works for DERADICALIZATION in Palestinian society, they will keep dragging us into conflict.

To the alphabet soup of international agencies complicit with Hamas' war crimes, we say: your negligence has put lives at risk. You have failed the world.
Utterly disgraceful.
Apparently, Al Jazeera’s take on ‘journalism’ - or being a decent human for that matter - is to invite a mother of an Israeli civilian who was abducted from the Nova music festival, then add a Hamas official to the interview without her consent, then try to turn the interview into a heated debate about politics, and eventually - when she refuses to bite - to proudly post that she hung up the phone.
Great job guys! You won a made up argument with a mum that doesn’t know whether her daughter is dead or alive for the past 41 days.

Interesting...
Honestly, I don't blame the snipers. I'd hope the medics are innocent, but leaving the hospital (especially since they're medics) is suspicious, imo.

A group of UN experts said there was “evidence of increasing genocidal incitement” against the Palestinian people in what it said were “grave violations” committed by Israel, Reuters reports.

I'm still waiting for their statement on the evidence of grave genocidal violence against the Israeli people that was committed by Hamas in the name of Gazan Palestinians.
And condemnation of that terror group that is Hamas.
I acknowledge their measley call for all hostages to be released (but not unconditionally) that came 40 days after it should have.
And still awaiting condemnation of the fact that Israel & Gaza were officially in a "State of Ceasefire" until approximatly 0530hrs 7th October 2023. So, in effect "Hamas declared War upon Israel" on 7 October 2023. Nary a peep.
Obviously, Hamas doesn't give an el toro poo poo about ceasefire agreements ... or "tactical pauses".
But, Israel. But Israel ... Shhhhhhhhhhhh.
Never Again.

In Beit Hanoun, where his forces were operating, some gunmen had stormed the Israeli military from tunnel shafts and had been killed, he said.
"We don't want to go down there. We know that they left us a lot of side-bombs (improvised explosives devices)," he said.
One such bomb, rigged to the cover of a tunnel-access shaft at ground level, had killed four special forces reservists last week.
Destroying a shaft is relatively easy and quick, the officer said, adding: "Any platoon can do it."
The tunnels are harder to tackle. The officer said several tonnes of the exploding gel - on which he declined to give any technical details, other than to say it is brought in by truck - are required for every few hundred metres of tunnel.
..... sometimes a secondary explosion set off by a tunnel destruction blast "will bring down a building a few hundred metres away".
"It's hard to say how many tunnels (are destroyed) because they are all connected," he said.
One of a handful of hostages released said she and at least two dozen others had been held in a tunnel. The army officer said care was being taken not to endanger tunnels that may contain hostages.
Palestinian gunmen taken captive have provided Israel with intelligence on the tunnel network, he said, but this information has been limited.
With mapping robots and blast gel, Israel wages war on Hamas tunnels

Yes, The people who are trying to get to other places all seem to be aware of the snipers. They seem to know that they shouldn't be moving around. This particular medic was trying to get to his mother's hospital, and made it through the snipers and checkpoints.

I can't read the news articles as they are often being posted multiples within the same single minute of timespan, but in individual posts so not getting read.
I'm relying on people like you to point out the ones with new information and bits in the thread because it's moving so fast. So, thank you!!

The UN high commissioner for human rights has said the killing of civilians in Gaza cannot be dismissed as “collateral damage”, while calling for a ceasefire based on humanitarian and human rights grounds.
Speaking after the UN security council backed a resolution on Wednesday calling for “urgent extended humanitarian pauses”, Volker Türk said: “The only winner of such a war is likely to be extremism and further extremism.”

A screenshot from a video provided by the IDF on November 16, 2023, shows rockets stored inside the bed of a young girl in Beit Hanoun, Gaza. (IDF/Screenshot)
The IDF announces that troops from its 551st Reserve Brigade discovered Hamas rockets stored inside the bed of young girl in a home in the Beit Hanoun city in northern Gaza.
In video footage, the Israeli military shows rockets kept in a storage unit underneath the bed in a bedroom with a “baby girl” sign on the wall.
Nearby the IDF shows a number of weapons it said it uncovered in the home, including missiles, explosive devices and explosive materials. The IDF said it destroyed the weaponry.
The military also publishes audio of what it says is an intercepted phone call between Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists about how they were transporting weaponry inside a stroller.

Khader, a journalist inside Al-Shifa, had a phone call with the BBC's Rushdi Abualouf - in which he said: "Soldiers are everywhere, shooting in all directions."
He said soldiers had "stormed all departments" of the hospital, destroying the southern part of the building's wall and dozens of cars.
We await more information on this reported development. The BBC's not been able to independently verify it.
Israeli soldiers entered the hospital more than 36 hours ago. Last night, they said they were "continuing the precise and targeted operation against Hamas" at the site.

Shin Bet says Hamas behind attack on checkpoint near Jerusalem
The Shin Bet intelligence service identifies the three slain terrorists who attacked a West Bank checkpoint just south of Jerusalem, wounding six people, saying they were Hamas members from Hebron.
Two of the three are identified as Abed el-Khader Kawasme, 26, the son of Abdallah Kawasma the head of Hamas’s military wing in Hebron who was killed in 2003; Hassan Mamoun Qafisha, 28, a member of Hamas, whose uncle was a Hamas member expelled to Turkey in 2011.
The Shin Bet said it had not yet finalized the identification of the third terrorist, but Palestinian media identified him as Nasser Kawasme.

France has condemned violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, calling it a “policy of terror” aimed at displacing Palestinians and urging Israeli authorities to protect Palestinians from the violence.
Speaking to reporters, foreign ministry spokesperson Anne-Claire Legendrealso said that about half the 100 tonnes of aid France had sent to Gaza had entered the enclave, Reuters reports.
She added it was not up to Israel to decide the future governance of Gaza, which she said should be part of a future Palestinian state.

I get it now
"From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free" is the opposite equivelant of "Pallywood" as the meaning of "Pallywood" has been explained in here.
Yet I keep seeing posts of protests etc with it being chanted as if it's Okie Dokey to be saying that.
Ughhhh.

This is not the first warning of its kind. Yesterday Hamas officials in Gaza said 25 hospitals were out of use. And last Friday, the World Health Organization stated that two thirds of the hospitals in the Gaza Strip were "not functioning at all".
The Palestinian health ministry is part of the Palestinian Authority, based in the West Bank - and does not have any control over Gaza.
Palestinian health ministry says 26 of Gaza's 35 hospitals not functioning
The ongoing Israeli operation at Gaza's biggest hospital, Al-Shifa, comes as the Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry warns that 26 of Gaza's 35 hospitals are no longer operational. It says the remaining nine are only "partially functioning".This is not the first warning of its kind. Yesterday Hamas officials in Gaza said 25 hospitals were out of use.
