Heavy fighting rages near main Gaza hospital and people trapped inside say they cannot flee

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Health officials and people trapped inside Gaza’s largest hospital rejected Israel’s claims that it was helping babies and others evacuate Sunday, saying fighting continued just outside the facility where incubators lay idle with no electricity and critical supplies were running out.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed urgent calls for a cease-fire unless it includes the release of all the nearly 240 hostages captured by Hamas in the Oct. 7 rampage that triggered the war.

A day after Netanyahu said Israel was bringing its “full force” with the aim of ending Hamas’ 16-year rule in Gaza, residents reported heavy airstrikes and shelling, including around Shifa Hospital. Israel, without providing evidence, has accused Hamas of concealing a command post inside and under the compound, allegations denied by Hamas and hospital staff.

“They are outside, not far from the gates,” said Ahmed al-Boursh, a resident sheltering there.

The hospital’s last generator ran out of fuel Saturday, leading to the deaths of three premature babies and four other patients, according to the Health Ministry. It said another 36 babies are at risk of dying.

Israel’s military asserted it placed 300 liters (79 gallons) of fuel near Shifa overnight for an emergency generator powering incubators for premature babies and coordinated the delivery with hospital officials. But the military said Hamas prevented the hospital from receiving the fuel.

A Health Ministry spokesperson, Ashraf al-Qidra, disputed the account and also told Al Jazeera the fuel would not be enough to operate the generator an hour. “This is a mockery towards the patients and children,” Al-Qidra said.

incredible infiltration into our “ mainstream media”... huge sighs.
Amazing how we have been asleep so long and allowed the enemy to take over.
God help us!
I follow Amir Tsarfati on Telegram and he is about the most knowledgeable Christian Jew I know right now on the front lines in Israel. He lives in North Israel and has spoken many times at our church...
his almost minute by minute unfolding of the events of this war and the propaganda that we are being fed is my “ must go to spot” right now both to inform me of the current events and just how to pray for our own country.
https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel

he has over 450,000 subscribers right now following the unfolding of events in Israel.
His website

Here is a bit of his background...well worth looking into in my opinion..

AP knew of the Oct 7 massacre beforehand and told no one. AP is a cog in the Soros paid propaganda machine. AP will beat the dead baby narrative to death. It’s the last card they have.

I love how they say Israel’s claim is “without evidence” but never use those magic words to describe any of Hamas’ claims.
