TEL AVIV, November 15. /TASS/. Soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have delivered humanitarian aid to Al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip where the military perseveres with its targeted operation against the Palestinian radical movement Hamas, the IDF reported.

"IDF troops are continuing the precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area in the Shifa Hospital, in which they are conducting searches for Hamas terror infrastructure and weapons," the IDF said on its Telegram channel. "Furthermore, the troops delivered humanitarian aid to the entrance of the hospital," it added.

Earlier on Wednesday, the IDF reported the successful delivery of incubators, baby food and medical supplies by IDF tanks to the Shifa hospital, the largest in the Gaza Strip. IDF "medical teams and Arabic speaking soldiers are on the ground to ensure these supplies reach those in need," the army added.

Meanwhile, IDF troops are conducting searches and interrogating men in the medical complex, Al Jazeera television reported, citing hospital sources. According to the TV channel, the Israeli military has arrested a number of displaced people as well as relatives of those killed or wounded. There are Israeli tanks on the premises, sources told Al Jazeera, which also said that the military had blown up a depot for medical supplies and equipment.

Tensions flared up again in the Middle East on October 7 after militants from the Gaza Strip-based radical Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise incursion on Israeli territory, killing many Israeli kibbutz residents living near the Gaza border and abducting more than 200 Israelis, including women, children and the elderly. Hamas described its attack as a response to Israeli authorities’ aggressive actions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City. Israel declared a total siege of Gaza and started carrying out strikes on the Palestinian enclave, as well as on certain areas in Lebanon and Syria. Clashes are also taking place in the West Bank.
