The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported breaking through Hamas’ defense lines in the northern Gaza Strip. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that coordinated strikes on Gaza from air, ground, and sea will continue, with actions taken to expose tunnels. An IDF fighter jet struck the head of Hamas’ anti-tank missile unit based on intelligence from the IDF and U.S. Intelligence Support Activity.
The report also highlights heavy bombardment around Al Quds Hospital in Gaza, causing panic among medical personnel and civilians. The hospital sustained damage in previous attacks. The Palestinian Health Minister stated that the Turkish hospital was out of service due to Israeli strikes and fuel shortages.
