As the truce continues, Israel launches large-scale ground operations in Gaza
Israel's military said it had begun “extensive ground operations” throughout Gaza and issued a evacuation order on Sunday night that would face imminent attacks.
The IDF launched a strike on Sunday at a hospital in northern Gaza, part of a new offensive in a tank called Operation Gideon.
Israel said its goal is to release hostages held in the Gaza Strip and defeat Hamas.
Rescuers said the strikes hit the southern city of Khan Yunis, as well as towns in northern Gaza, including Beit Lahia and Jabalia refugee camps.
Hamas Party Health Ministry said at least 67 people were injured in Gaza and 361 were injured in the past 24 hours.
Civil Defence, which serves as the main emergency service in Gaza, said the Sanmavasi Camp in the south had been in shelter and was also attacked overnight on Saturday, killing 22 people and injuring 100 people. The camp was previously designated as a “safety zone.”
A woman from Khan Younis told the BBC that the situation was “very difficult” and she was kept awake by the bombing while enduring a “severe shortage of flour, gasoline and food.”
Israeli troops said in a wide evacuation order on Sunday it would “launch a powerful strike against any area where the rocket was launched” and urged people to “immediately move west to the known shelter in Al-Mawasi.”
The ministry said three public hospitals in Northern Gaza are now “failing” in Northern Gaza province amid Israel’s escalating air strikes.
The ministry said one of the medical staff and patients was Beit Lahia's Indonesian hospital and was “heavy fire”. It accused Israel of besieging hospitals, cutting off visits, and “effectively forcing hospitals to be discontinued.”
The IDF said its troops are “terrorist infrastructure sites” in northern Gaza, including areas adjacent to Indonesian hospitals.
The slam was as negotiators from Israel and Hamas continued to try to reach a ceasefire agreement in Qatar.
Israeli media quoted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office as saying that Israel's negotiating team was exhausted in Sunday's deal.
Netanyahu's statement said, “including the release of all hostages, the exile of Hamas terrorists and the disarmament in the Gaza Strip”.
A senior Hamas source told the BBC, “No breakthrough or progress has been made so far in the ongoing negotiations in Doha due to Israel’s tenaciousness.”
Sources said Hamas expressed his willingness to release all Israeli hostages in one phase, “under the conditions of a comprehensive and permanent ceasefire agreement – the Israeli side continues to refuse because their negotiating team lacks the task of deciding key issues.”
Sources stressed that Hamas “rejects any partial or temporary arrangement.” The group proposed the release of all hostages in exchange for an agreed number of Palestinian prisoners, the entire evacuation of Israel from the Gaza Strip and the entry of humanitarian aid – Israel has now been locked down for 10 weeks.
“Israel wants to take hostages back in batches or two in exchange for a temporary truce,” a Hamas source told the BBC.
Mohammed Salha, director of Al-Awda Private Hospital in northern Gaza, said the closure of Indonesian hospitals will affect the care he is able to provide.
Al-Awda depends on the oxygen in Indonesian hospitals and its intensive care units.
Mr Salha added that a bomb attack occurred near his hospital, which caused “tremendous damage” to the facilities that staff were trying to repair quickly.
The latest damage to the hospital was after an Israeli strike that attacked Khan Yunis, the Nasser Medical Complex and the two largest medical centers of the European hospital were the Israeli strike that attacked the two largest medical centers.
Israel accused Hamas of hiding the command and control center under the European hospital and said it had carried out a “precise strike” against the “Hamas terrorists.”
Israeli media reported that the strike target was Mohammed Sinwar, a senior Hamas figure – Yahya Sinwar, the younger brother of former Hamas leader in Gaza.
Thousands have been killed since Israel resumed its strike on March 18, a fragile ceasefire has lasted for two months.
The aid agency warns of the risk of famine in the Gaza population with video and video and accounts of malnutrition children.
Israel's military said its campaign expansion aims to “achieve all the goals of the war” including the release of hostages and “failed Hamas.”
But the hostage family group said the action posed a “serious and escalating danger” to the hostages still held in Gaza.
“The testimony of the hostage release described a serious deterioration in treatment following the military strike, including physical abuse, restraint and food reduction,” the Hostages and Missing Family Forum said.
The war was triggered by a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, with approximately 1,200 people killed and more than 250 people taking hostages.
About 58 hostages remained in Gaza, with as many as 23 of them considered alive.
More than 53,000 Palestinians were killed in Israel's military campaign in Gaza.
