The Palestinian Health Ministry says that the attack on the Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital left at least four dead, after Sunday marked the deadliest day of the ongoing conflict. Through Sunday night, the death toll had reached over 500 Palestinians and 18 Israeli soldiers.
As Israel expanded its ground operations last week, it said that destroying Hamas-controlled tunnels was among the main objectives. On Monday, a pair of five-man militant cells snuck into Israel through such tunnels, engaging Israeli soldiers in a firefight.
The Israel Defense Forces released video of the attack, and said that all 10 militants were killed. The did not say whether any Israeli soldiers were injured in the attack.
On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country’s ground operation in Gaza has exceeded expectations and will continue.
“The IDF is making progress in the field according to plan and the operation will be expanded until the goal is achieved — restoring quiet to the citizens of Israel for a long period,” Netanyahu said.
