Israel continues fighting against Hamas militia in southern Gaza
Tel Aviv/Gaza - Israel's military continued its operations against the Hamas militia in the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip over the weekend.
The army took control of Nasser Hospital, one of the larger hospitals in the coastal area.
According to employees, the hospital is no longer functional.
The army announced on Sunday evening that hundreds of terrorists and terror suspects who were hiding in the clinic had been captured.
Some of them are said to have posed as medical staff.
Meanwhile, Defense Minister Joav Galant sees the Islamists' fighting spirit broken after more than four months of war.
“200 terrorists surrendered in Nasser Hospital, dozens more in Amal Hospital,” Galant said at a meeting with army commanders.
“This shows that Hamas has lost its fighting spirit.” The information could not initially be independently verified.
In addition, the Hamas leadership under Gaza chief Jihia al-Sinwar, who went into hiding out of fear of the Israeli security forces, lost contact with the outside world in their hiding places.
“The Gaza branch of Hamas is not responding,” Galant said.
“There is no one left locally to talk to.” The Hamas leadership abroad is already looking for a replacement for Al-Sinwar.
The militia only has organized forces in the central Gaza Strip and in Rafah, the southern border town with Egypt.

Israel wants to destroy the remaining Hamas battalions in Rafah
In Rafah, the Israeli army is preparing to move in to destroy the remaining Hamas battalions and free suspected hostages there.
However, the Israeli government has not yet issued an operational order in this regard.
Military action in the Gaza Strip's southernmost city is highly controversial because it is crowded with 1.3 million Palestinians, most of whom have fled fighting in other parts of the coastal area.
So far, almost 29,000 Palestinians have died in Israeli attacks and fighting in the Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas-controlled health authority.
68,880 others were injured.
The information could not initially be independently verified.
The health authority spoke of a dramatic situation.
A large number of injured people cannot be treated due to non-functional hospitals and a lack of medication.
Thousands of wounded people would have to be taken to other countries so that they can be helped.
UN court begins hearing on Israel's actions in occupied territories
A hearing on Israel's actions in the occupied Palestinian territories begins at 10 a.m. at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague.
At the end of 2022, the UN General Assembly had already asked the highest UN court in The Hague for a legal opinion on the legal consequences of Israel's actions against the Palestinians in the occupied territories.
This happened before the current Gaza conflict, which began with the attack on Israel by terrorists from Hamas and other extremist groups on October 7, 2023.
