ALBAWABA- The Israeli army confirms conducting a raid targeting terrorist elements in Jenin, as part of their ongoing operations.

Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes hit the Salah al-Din School, affiliated with UNRWA, located in Gaza City. The bombing resulted in casualties and injuries, including fatalities from a house in the Beach Camp area, west of Gaza City.

In a distressing development, besieged families at Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City continue to plead for assistance, marking the third consecutive day of urgent calls for food supplies.

Earlier reports indicated Israeli military actions at Al Shifa hospital, claiming to have neutralized gunmen and discovered weapons while ensuring the safety of civilians and medical personnel.

The raid, initiated on Monday, involved special forces, infantry, and tanks, responding to intelligence indicating potential militant activity within the hospital premises.

This action recalls a similar incident last November, sparking criticism, where Israeli troops uncovered tunnels allegedly used by Hamas for military purposes. However, Hamas and medical staff deny such claims, asserting that the hospital serves solely as a medical facility and shelter for civilians.

Additionally, Al-Qassam Brigades report their operation, targeting Israeli forces by detonating a tunnel opening in the Al-Qarara area, north of Khan Yunis, resulting in casualties among the enemy forces.
