 The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the completion of a raid at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, during which around 240 terror suspects were apprehended.

An IDF spokesperson stated, “The operation effectively neutralized a major threat and disrupted Hamas's infrastructure in the area.”

Moreover, Israeli forces initiated a new ground incursion into Beit Hanoun, a neighborhood in northern Gaza, as part of their broader efforts to eliminate Hamas operatives.
