Israeli special forces have reportedly entered the besieged Nasser hospital in southern Gaza, according to the country's military. The operation is said to be precise and limited, with the aim of targeting armed Hamas fighters who are believed to have taken shelter inside the hospital. There are also concerns that the bodies of Israeli hostages might be located there. This development follows the Israeli Defense Forces' previous order for thousands of displaced people to evacuate the hospital. As the largest medical facility in the south of the Gaza Strip, the hospital's corridors were captured in earlier video footage, displaying medical staff rushing patients through smoke-filled passageways.
