Gaza: IDF raids homes of senior Hamas officials<\/h3>\n

This is the dramatic moment Israeli soldiers raided the homes of Hamas leaders after storming through the Gaza Strip in tanks.<\/p>\n

Video footage released by the IDF shows the military engaging in a fierce gun battle in the streets of the strip’s upscale Rimal neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

Troops can then be seen pressing a block of apartments said to be housing terrorists who orchestrated the October 7 attack on Israel.<\/p>\n

Tanks and rocket launchers support their advance before another video shows IDF soldiers patrolling the streets of Gaza.<\/p>\n

It came as some 31 babies were evacuated from al-Shifa hospital yesterday amid fears of a growing humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The IDF also released new images taken near the Al-Shifa hospital that it claims proves that Hamas has been using it to hide and avoid strikes from its forces.<\/p>\n

They showed what Israel claims to be a be the entrance to an operational tunnel shaft leading underneath the building.<\/p>\n

They insisted the new video proves Hamas militants have been using the hospital and anyone seeking shelter and refuge inside as a “human shield”.<\/p>\n

The IDF said: “IDF and ISA forces revealed a significant 55-meter-long terrorist tunnel, 10 meters underneath the Al-Shifa Hospital complex during an intelligence-based operation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The tunnel entrance contains various defence mechanisms, such as a blast-proof door and a firing hole, in an attempt by Hamas to block Israeli forces from entering.<\/p>\n

“For weeks we’ve been telling the world about Hamas’ cynical use of the residents of Gaza and patients of Shifa Hospital as human shields. Here is more proof.”<\/p>\n

Israel continues to bombard the Gaza Strip with airstrikes as it continues its push to crush Hamas.<\/p>\n

The humanitarian situation is continuing to worsen.<\/p>\n
