Israel Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari reported on the progress of the operation at Al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip. He said Hamas was destroying the compound and using civilians as human shields.
Hamas destroys the Al-Shifa hospital and fights with the Israeli military, hiding behind the backs of the sick and wounded. This was stated by an IDF spokesman. The operation inside the complex continues.
On Sunday, the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees in the Near East, Philippe Lazzarini, expressed outrage at Israel’s decision to block UNRWA humanitarian convoys from entering the northern Gaza Strip. Lazzarini called for these restrictions to be lifted.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening UNRWA during his visit to Egypt. Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General: “We will seriously study the recommendations that will be presented. We want to strengthen UNRWA in its ability to provide assistance to the Palestinian people and to be fully consistent with the values of the UN, as this is the strong determination of the leadership of UNRWA, represented here by Philippe Lazzarini.”
Israeli media reported that the country’s authorities are ready to exchange regarding 800 Palestinian prisoners for 40 hostages. A response from the Hamas leadership is expected within three days. According to sources, the probability of a deal being concluded is fifty-fifty.
Against the backdrop of the war, religious celebrations are taking place in the region: thousands of Christians celebrated Palm Sunday on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, and Jews celebrated Purim. On this occasion, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a short speech in which he stated that Israel will enter Rafah and achieve absolute victory.
