Israel’s army says its special forces have entered the Nasser hospital in southern Gaza, which is surrounded and under attack.
It means a small and specific mission is happening. Hamas fighters are inside and Israeli hostages’ bodies may be there too.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told many people to leave the area yesterday.
The hospital is the biggest one in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Earlier video shows medical workers hurrying to move patients on stretchers through a hallway filled with smoke.
This new story is still being worked on and we will have more information soon.

‘Catastrophic’ scenes as bombing in Gaza continues at Nasser hospital
At Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, pictures show patients lying on a bloody floor after Israeli bombs hit the area.
The person who speaks for the health ministry in Gaza, which is run by Hamas, says the situation is really bad. Ashraf al-Qudra says that 43 people have died and their bodies have been taken to the hospital just this morning.
“There are no emergency medical services in the hospitals in southern Gaza Strip,” he said.
So”The hospitals are totally overwhelmed and can’t handle all the injuries that they have to treat. ”
He says it’s getting harder for ambulances to get to injured people in certain areas.
Israel is saying that they are aiming at places where Hamas is, and they are trying to avoid hurting innocent people.
