A senior military liaison to the Palestinians denies Israel struck Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, as fighting rages around the medical facility that Hamas allegedly uses as a key command post.
Col. Moshe Tetro, head of COGAT’s Coordination and Liaison Administration to Gaza, says Israeli troops are engaging Hamas fighters near Al-Shifa but stresses “there is no shooting at the hospital and no siege.”
He also says the eastern side of the hospital remains open and that “anyone who wants to leave can.”
