The Israeli army said that its forces raided the Shifa Hospital complex in Gaza, in an operation that Palestinian health authorities said led to the death of a number of victims and ignited a severe fire in one of the buildings. The Israeli army stated that it had completely taken control of the hospital. The army later announced that a soldier had been killed during the military operation.

The army added, according to what Reuters news agency reported, that the soldiers were carrying out a “precise operation,” and that they were fired upon when they entered the compound.

The statement said, “The forces responded with live ammunition and identified the casualties. They continue to work in the hospital area.”

The army statement stated that the operation was based on intelligence information indicating that senior Hamas leaders were using the hospital.
