Israeli Forces Conduct Raid

On the morning of November 15, the Israeli military raided Shifa Hospital, the largest medical facility in Gaza, which serves thousands of patients and displaced civilians.

Following the raid, Israel's presentation of rusty weapons and a few cameras allegedly found in the building, instead of tunnels and ammunition caches, sparked criticism.
