Israel has claimed responsibility for an airstrike near Gaza’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, resulting in 15 casualties and 50 injuries, according to Hamas-run health authorities. The attack targeted an ambulance that Israel said was being used by Hamas. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza stated that the ambulance was part of a medical convoy traveling to the Rafah border crossing and had informed the International Committee of the Red Cross about the movement. The ICRC confirmed awareness of the scheduled convoy but was not directly involved. The strike occurred following continued heavy aerial assaults on northern Gaza. In other developments, Israeli ground forces are reportedly closing in on Gaza City, while rocket attacks hit Sderot in Israel. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel, advocating for the protection of Palestinian civilians and discussing humanitarian assistance and hostages. Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, made a rare speech calling for a ceasefire and praising Hamas’ attacks, raising concerns of broader regional conflict. Furthermore, the families of 11 victims from the October 7 Hamas attack filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court, accusing the perpetrators of “crimes against humanity.” Finally, the Israeli government issued warnings to its citizens regarding foreign travel due to increased antisemitic incidents, reflecting similar concerns raised by the FBI in the United States.
