IDF SPOKESMAN HAGARI SAID SPECIAL FORCES WERE CONDUCTING A LIMITED OPERATION INSIDE THE HOSPITAL – ACCUSING HAMAS OF USING HOSPITALS TO CARRY OUT THEIR TERROR MISSIONS ALL WHILE HIDING BEHIND PATIENTS.

 A SPOKESPERSON FOR GAZA’S HAMAS-RUN HEALTH MINISTRY ACCUSED THE IDF OF UNLEASHING HEAVY SHOOTING THAT WOUNDED MANY DISPLACED PEOPLE WHO WERE USING THE HOSPITAL as SHELTER.

THE HEALTH MINISTRY ALSO CLAIMS ISRAELI SOLDIERS FORCED HOSPITAL PATIENTS AND DISPLACED PALESTINIAN FAMILIES TO EVACUATE “UNDER BOMBARDMENT AND THREATS.”

ISRAEL’S STRIKE A RETALIATION FOR A ROCKET ATTACK HOURS EARLIER THAT KILLED AN ISRAELI SOLDIER.

 LEBANON’S PRIME MINISTER RELEASED A STATEMENT CONDEMNING THE ISRAELI AIRSTRIKES SAYING “AT A TIME WHERE WE ARE INSISTING ON CALM AND CALL ALL SIDES TO NOT ESCALATE, WE FIND THE ISRAELI ENEMY EXTENDING ITS AGGRESSION.”

A SPOKESPERSON FROM ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU’S OFFICE SAID, “OUR MESSAGE TO HEZBOLLAH HAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE: DON’T TRY US.”
