"Israeli Strike on Gaza: Killing of 106 Civilians Raises War Crime Concerns"

Human Rights Watch has accused Israeli forces of committing an apparent war crime by unlawfully attacking a residential building in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least 106 civilians, including 54 children. The attack, which occurred on October 31, 2023, is among the deadliest single incidents for civilians since the Israeli government’s bombardment and ground incursion into Gaza following the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7. The Israeli military's long track record of failing to credibly investigate alleged war crimes underscores the importance of the International Criminal Court’s inquiry into serious crimes committed by all parties to the conflict.

"Exploring the Devastation: A Look Inside Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital"

Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital, the largest in the region, has been severely damaged after two weeks of intense assault by Israeli troops battling Hamas militants. The hospital, which housed maternity wards, surgery suites, and emergency rooms, has been mostly destroyed, with the IDF claiming it was used as a mustering point and command center for terrorists. The IDF led a group of foreign journalists through the compound, showcasing the destruction and claiming to have killed and detained numerous Hamas fighters. The hospital staff and Hamas officials deny the military's allegations, stating that the complex was not used for military purposes. The raid has left the hospital unfit to be a medical center, with the IDF claiming it as a success but also acknowledging the tragedy of destroying the hospital buildings.

"Hamas' Secret Tunnels: Uncovering the Truth Beneath Gaza's Hospitals"

Israeli military claims to have found evidence suggesting that Hamas used Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital for military purposes, including storing weapons and maintaining a tunnel network beneath it. Classified documents and images indicate a tunnel at least 700 feet long, connecting to Hamas's larger underground network. Israel has struggled to prove its early claims of a command-and-control center under the hospital, but maintains that Hamas used hospitals as cover and turned civilians into human shields. Hamas and Gazan officials deny the allegations, while international law protects hospitals from military action. The conflict has raised concerns about civilian casualties and the collapse of the healthcare system in Gaza.

"Inside Gaza: An American's Harrowing Account"

Dr. Seema Jilani, one of the few Americans allowed into Gaza, witnessed horrific scenes at al-Aqsa hospital, where she treated patients amidst ongoing Israeli bombardment. She described a hospital on the brink of collapse, with a shortage of supplies and overwhelming patient numbers. Medical personnel have been evacuated due to increasing attacks, leaving just three doctors to treat hundreds of patients. Jilani's experience highlights the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where she found solace in providing comfort and bearing witness to the suffering, and expressed a deep commitment to continue supporting the people of Gaza.
