The Israel Defense Forces says it is carrying out a "precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area" of Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza.
The ground operation, based on intelligence and "operation necessity," came after the Israeli military had repeatedly warned Hamas against using the hospital as a base for its operations, the IDF said in a statement issued Wednesday morning local time.
"Yesterday, the IDF conveyed to the relevant authorities in Gaza once again that all military activities within the hospital must cease within 12 hours. Unfortunately, it did not," the Israeli military said, adding that Hamas's alleged use of the hospital violates international law.

The IDF force went in with medical teams and Arabic speakers. The IDF dominates Hamas.

The minute I heard about the atrocities, I knew Israel would conquer. Seems Hamas underestimated them.

How is the IDF going to tell the difference between hospital nurses and doctors, patients, and hamas terrorists?

#3 - FTA: "The IDF said its forces involved in the operation include medical teams and Arabic speakers 'who have undergone specified training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment, with the intent that no harm is caused to the civilians being used by Hamas as human shields.'"
Although this snippet of information is short on details, it does indicate that Israel is sensitive to the situation yet will not allow Hamas a blank check in their cynical ploy of using hospitals as a shield. No other country is held to the exacting standards such as Israel, yet they consistently rise to those impossible standards set by a biased world as they protect not only their own citizens, but the innocent citizens of their enemy. God bless Israel.

No one will call Hamas for all their war crimes and Israel has to clean up the.mess. Using a hospital, Mosque, or a school is expressly forbidden but for Hamas it is standard operating procedure.

CBS(crap before substance) always has to have hamas' back. The fact that the IDF has to go into the hospital destroy the comand/control center validates everything the IDF has been saying for years. All of the media has known this. They have provided cover for hamas. This is no surprise. They have hated Israel since 1947. God bless the IDF and Israel.

My version of a "precise and targeted operation" would be to locate all entrances from the hospital to the tunnels and direct the main sewage outlets from the hospital into them.

In Vietnam the U.S. had so called tunnel rats, soldiers who would enter underground bunkers, and I'm sure Israel must have devised ways to conduct combat in the tunnels. They are said to have robotic vehicles that can operate, and even dogs. Are hostages kept under this hospital?

Imagining that there is any actual, functional difference between the near mythical "Palestinian civilian" and a Hamas terrorist is to also fret about the "crucial" difference between tomato and tomaahto.
A distinction without a difference. Anyone believing that a "Palestinian civilian" in a different moment wouldn't be assisting Hamas in any way possible or actually taking part in Hamas activities up to and including cutting heads is a fool. Just like the "peace activists" who worked for decades to help obtain "fair treatment and peace for Palestininans"....who had their throats cut by the people that they spent a foolish lifetime working to support. The story of the woman who saved the snake comes to mind.

A good name for what the Israelis are doing in Gaza: Operation Parking Lot.
