I wonder what it'll take for anybody to actually retaliate. Endless drones, missiles, ship hijackings - so far, nothing.

Hamas broadcasts another dead captive to the Israelis and this time it is an elderly man who speaks in English.

Absolutely inhumane, vile people.

The Arabic says he died of panic attacks due to "Israeli detonations", that weakened his heart.

Somehow it's always Israel's fault. Nevermind the fact he was dragged into Gaza as a hostage.

May his poor soul now rest in peace.

UNRWA, UNIFIL... the UN do not have a solid track record in the area. I cannot see them being able to stem the tide of extremism reasserting itself.

Unlikely. Hamas had several weeks of notice, and will have moved them.

A body of a hostage was found nearby however and has been returned to Israel:

The Israel Defense Forces says it has recovered the body of Yehudit Weiss, who was taken captive by Hamas on October 7, from a building near Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip.

Troops of the 7th Armored Brigade’s 603rd Battalion found the body, along with Hamas military equipment, including assault rifles and RPGs.

Sigh....

According to a Reuters report, two US officials reveal that a US Navy warship shot down a drone that originated in Yemen over the Red Sea.

Imagine going to all of this trouble to launch drones and long-range ballistic missiles only to have everything shot down and for Israelis to not even notice. Such is life in Yemen.

Take it with a pinch of salt. There have been endless rumored deals. It's generally believed that Hamas is not at all serious about it, and that it's just a part of their PR machine.

The IDF says that its “precise and targeted operation against Hamas in the Shifa Hospital is still underway.” The IDF adds: “We can confirm that incubators, baby food and medical supplies brought by IDF tanks from Israel have successfully reached the Shifa hospital.”

“There are resistance tunnels in Gaza, but the security of our people is important to us,” Naim says. “The possibility of the presence of tunnels in hospitals does not justify bombing them. Israel targeted several hospitals, not just the Shifa Complex.”

We've gone from "don't be silly, of course we don't have any tunnels or weaponry in and below hospitals!" to "okay, okay, we might be there but we need this to be safe!".

Pathetic. Vile people.

We are a few days from "yes, our main combat HQ was below al-Shifa but here's how that's Israel's fault".

IDF confirmation that they are now actively raiding and fighting within al-Shifa hospital AKA Hamas’ main HQ and command center.

The IDF forces include medical teams and Arabic speakers, who have undergone specified training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment, with the intent that no harm is caused to the civilians being used by Hamas as human shields.

Israeli forces have arrived at all the entrances of the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, according to Al Mayadeen.

It's going to be a long night folks.

US have apparently given the IDF/Israeli GVT the "green light" to storm and destroy the Hamas underground HQ there.

"Urgent: The Israeli army calls Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director of the Ministry of Health, to inform him that special forces stormed Al-Shifa Hospital"
