Israel has renewed its operation at Gaza’s largest hospital, which is sheltering more than 2,000 civilians, AFP reports.

“Tonight we conducted a targeted operation into Shifa hospital. We continue to move forward,” Major General Yaron Finkelman, the head of Israeli military operations in Gaza, said in a social media post.

Gaza’s health ministry has said that Israeli bulldozers “destroyed parts of the southern entrance” of the hospital.

Both Israel and its top ally the United States say Hamas have a command centre below the Al-Shifa complex. The Palestinian group and directors at the hospital have denied the claims.
