Israeli Forces Continue Search of Gaza Hospital Amid Hostage Negotiations

As Qatari-mediated talks aim to secure a ceasefire and hostage release, Israel signals a potential wider offensive in southern Gaza.

Israeli forces continue to search Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital for evidence of Hamas presence, amid international concern for the patients and staff trapped inside.
Qatari-mediated negotiations are reportedly underway for a deal to free 50 hostages in Hamas captivity in exchange for a three-day ceasefire.
Israel has ordered civilians to evacuate four towns in southern Gaza, raising fears of a wider offensive and potential spread of the conflict.
Israeli forces are using mapping robots and explosive gel to target and destroy Hamas tunnels, which are believed to be extensive and complex.
The United Nations is exploring options for evacuating al-Shifa hospital, but efforts are hampered by security and logistical constraints.
