The Palestinian Resistance is engaging in confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces, who have moved further into the vicinity of the al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, Journalist  Alam el-Din Sabah confirmed to Al Mayadeen. 

He further noted that the occupation forces intensified their artillery shelling and raids in the vicinity of al-Shifa Hospital. This escalation is occurring amid severed communication with medical personnel inside the hospital, which has been under siege by Israeli forces for several days.

The journalist pointed out that the families living in the vicinity of the al-Shifa Medical Complex are calling to be evacuated as a result of the violent Israeli bombing and the ongoing siege.
