Thousands who were sheltering at Gaza City’s hospitals flee as Israel-Hamas war closes in

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Thousands of Palestinians sheltering from the Israel-Hamas war at Gaza City’s main hospital fled south Friday after several reported strikes in and around the compound overnight. They joined a growing exodus of people escaping intense urban fighting in the north — including near other hospitals — as Gaza officials said the territory’s death toll surpassed 11,000.

The search for safety across the besieged Gaza Strip has grown desperate as Israel intensified its assault on the territory’s largest city.

The Israeli army says Hamas’ military infrastructure is based amid Gaza City’s hospitals and neighborhoods, and that it has set up its main command center in and under the largest hospital, Shifa — claims the militant group and Shifa staff deny.

Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas after its deadly Oct. 7 surprise incursion, which killed at least 1,200.

More than 100,000 Palestinians have fled south over the past two days, according to Israel, but they still face bombardment and dire conditions. Reported strikes on or near at least four hospitals in northern Gaza overnight underscored the danger for tens of thousands more who had crowded into the facilities, believing they would be safe.

The Israelis are pushing through the military district to the tunnels under the hospitals. There are more & more press releases about the war extending for up to a year. Idiots like Macron are trying to get humanitarian pauses and point fingers at Israel to give Hamas time to regroup.
IMO the Israelis know they have a limited amount of time to get “IT” done and they are moving as quickly as is safest for their soldiers and with humanitarian pauses short enough that the civilians that Hamas doesn’t threaten or kill can escape. I hope that in the next week or so the hospitals will be occupied and the tunnels destroyed.
Netanyahu is cagey enough to eschew a multinational force controlling Gaza after the war. Israeli must monitor for security to avoid recolonization by Hamas or a similar group.

Good. Clear out those hospitals and then level the Hamas HQ which is right beneath one of them.

The IDF and ISA killed the terrorist who held hostage approximately 1000 Gazan residents at the Rantisi Hospital in Gaza Based on precise IDF and ISA intelligence, and with the direction of IDF ground troops, IDF aircraft struck Ahmed Siam, a company commander of the Naser Radwan Company of the Hamas terrorist organization.
Two days ago, the IDF spokesperson exposed that Siam held hostage approximately 1,000 Gazan residents at the Rantisi Hospital and prevented them from evacuating southwards for their safety. Ahmed Siam was killed while hiding in the “al Buraq” school, where additional terrorists under this command were also hiding and were killed. Ahmed Siam demonstrates once again that Hamas uses the civilians of Gaza as human shields for terrorism purposes.

No, the Arabs have deserted Palestinian riff raff years ago.

They sent the money to pay them off. Rather than migrate to Arab countries, the riff raff trash migrated to Europe, the UK and America where they are raising hell in current protests.

“ level the Hamas HQ ”

Set it on fire and when the vermin try to escape shoot, not to kill but to force them back into the flames. Let’s see if their virgins like their masters crispy.

When you see ‘Gaza Officials’ or ‘Gaza Health Ministry’ saying anything, it’s just Hamas, who are spreading propaganda. Hamas controls the Gov’t and are the elected representatives of the people of Gaza.

The Palis support the terrorists and many were willing to be human shields. Let them die for their false god.

hamas disguised itself as civilian and has fled, but there will still be a leveling, after the building(s) are/is vacated and the rubble dozed to expose all the tunnels.

Gaza hospitals are just a disguise for Hamas headquarters.

IF their tunnels are really 100’ PLUS deep-——why would HAMAS tell such to the hospital authorities???

11,000 Palestinians killed.

Any numbers reported by Hamas' PR agency are unlikely to be true.

When AP reported the death toll of Palestinians earlier in the war they included the 1,000 terrorists killed in Israel as a part of the "Palestinians killed". So you can assume that of the fake 11,000 at least 1,000 of them are the perpetrators of the terror attack on Israel.

Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas after its deadly Oct. 7 surprise incursion, which killed at least 1,200.

I might be mistaken, but as best as I can recall ALL articles indicated a minimum of "at least 1400" killed in the October 7th massacres.

Is Associated Press starting to get the ball rolling on "low-balling" the Israelis killed on October 7th? Can we expect future articles to talk about the attack that "killed at least 1000"? Is this the start to the race to bottom number of Israeli casualties?

Victims were dismembered and burned, terrorists were disguised as Israelis, even IDF. Body parts put together and terrorists distinguished from victims. Numbers will change for quite a time to come. Archaeologists are being used so abused are so many bodies.
