Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said last night that Hamas had “lost control,” adding: “There is no Hamas force capable of stopping the IDF.” The IDF is advancing on every issue.

It came as the IDF was reportedly preparing plans to storm networks of tunnels in the Gaza Strip to free the 239 hostages held there, as hopes of a deal with Hamas faded.
According to Gershon Baskin, who facilitated the last hostage exchange with Hamas in 2011, attempts to negotiate the release of the hostages seized on October 7 were approaching a “critical moment.”
“In the next few days or even hours, military operations will begin in places where hostages could be held if there is no agreement on the release of hostages,” he told the Times.
Yesterday it was claimed that seven babies had now died in the neonatal ward of Gaza’s largest hospital, which was surrounded by Israeli troops.
Hamas Deputy Health Minister Youssef Abu Rish said 27 adult patients had also died at Al Shifa Hospital since the weekend due to a lack of fuel.
Terrorists exchanged fire with IDF troops at the hospital, which was reportedly located on the roof of Hamas’ main command bunker and tunnels.

In the neonatal unit, images emerged of babies wrapped in green fabric wrapped in tape for warmth.
“Yesterday I had 39 babies and today there are 36,” said Dr. Mohamed Tabasha, head of the pediatric department.
“I can’t say how long they can last.” “I could lose two more babies today or in an hour.”
The IDF released footage purporting to show Hamas fighters at a second hospital in Gaza City, al-Quds.
The IDF said its troops came under fire from the entrance to the hospital, where the terrorists were “embedded” among civilians. Israel said that “approximately 21 terrorists were killed.”
