Israel forces search Gaza hospital as civilians stranded inside

Israeli forces continue searching building to building at Gaza's main hospital of Al-Shifa since early Wednesday in the hunt for a command centre they say the militants built below the complex, a charge denied by Hamas and managers at the hospital which has become a focal point of the war.
The Israeli military said it found rifles, ammunition and explosives at the Gaza City hospital, as well as computers and equipment containing "information and footage pertaining to the hostages" taken in Hamas's shock October 7 attack on Israel.
The body of a woman taken captive in the attack was also found close to the hospital. Before Israel first sent troops into the hospital complex, UN agencies estimated that 2,300 patients, staff and displaced civilians were sheltering at Al-Shifa without enough food, water and fuel for generators. Israel has vowed to eradicate Hamas in retaliation for the attacks of October 7.
