Israel launches another raid on Gaza’s main hospital, claiming that Hamas has regrouped there

Israel launched another raid on Gaza’s largest hospital Monday, claiming Hamas had regrouped there and killing a senior terror official during a shoot-out.

Faiq Mabhouh, the head of operations for Hamas’ internal security force, had allegedly been hiding inside the al Shifa hospital complex in Gaza City and “was working to advance terror activity” when he was taken out, the Israel Defense Forces said. 

Some of the tens of thousands of people sheltering in the hospital said the Israeli soldiers, backed by tanks and artillery, surrounded the medical complex. Israel said its forces were met by sniper fire coming from inside.
