The Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing a European diplomat, that "Israel" has not found conclusive evidence of Palestinian fighters' presence at the Al-Shifa medical complex in Gaza.

According to the source that has not been named, there have been no tunnels or command centers found beneath the medical center, contrary to previous claims made by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF). As a result, there is international pressure on "Israel" to agree to a ceasefire.

Mossad and CIA intelligence failed again

Israel admits there are no tunnels being used under Al Shifa hospital.

Al-Shifa Besieged

Earlier today, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that the occupation's tanks have renewed their efforts to storm the Al-Shifa Medical Complex from the southern side.

Our correspondent reported that the occupation forces bulldozed the areas in the vicinity of the maternity section at Shifa Hospital, adding that IOF tanks are opening fire on anyone attempting to leave.

On another note, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza reported earlier that the IOF had demolished several medical departments during their raid on Al-Shifa.

The ministry specified that the IOF demolished the radiology department and detonated the burns trauma and nephrology departments.

In a statement, Dr. Abu Salmiya said that the departments of maternity, emergency, and surgery have also been targeted, among others.

He also told reporters that the hospital had completely run out of food, water, and electricity, noting that the IOF bombed the hospital's main water pipe.

Although the oxygen reserves have been depleted, Abu Salmiya stated that hospital staff have chosen to stay in the building, refusing to evacuate without the patients.
