Israel's Defence Minister바카라 웹사이트Yoav Gallant on Monday claimed that Hamas바카라 웹사이트has "lost control" of the Gaza Strip that it has ruled for 16 years. His claim comes after over a month of mounting attacks between Israel and Hamas that has brought unseen levels of death and destruction to Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinian residents.
"Hamas has lost control of Gaza. Terrorists are fleeing southward. Civilians are looting Hamas bases," he said, albeit바카라 웹사이트without providing evidence. "They don't have faith in the government anymore," Gallant said in a video broadcast on Israel's main TV stations, according to AFP.
The ongoing war has killed more than 11,000 Palestinians, and바카라 웹사이트least 1,200 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians who were targeted in the initial Hamas attack. The death toll however hasn't been updated by health officials since Friday because of the difficulty of accessing hard-hit areas and collecting information as Israeli forces target바카라 웹사이트hospitals in Gaza.
On Monday, Israel바카라 웹사이트attacked Gaza's largest hospital Al Shifa, where thousands of Palestinians have been seeking refuge and treatment. Palestinian health officials바카라 웹사이트said the hospital compound was surrounded by constant heavy gunfire.바카라 웹사이트Doctors, who have been running low on supplies, are performing surgery on war-wounded patients, including children, without anesthesia.바카라 웹사이트
The Health Ministry said바카라 웹사이트three babies and four other patients have died since the hospital's emergency generator ran out of fuel on Saturday. It said another 36 babies and other patients are at risk of dying because there is no way to power life-saving medical equipment.바카라 웹사이트World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Shifa has been without water for three days and “is not functioning as a hospital anymore," in a post on social media.
Although the White House earlier said that Israel agreed to brief daily humanitarian pauses to allow civilians to flee, it바카라 웹사이트continues to strike what it says are militant targets across southern Gaza, often killing women and children.
