Expressing uncertainty about the duration of the conflict, Biden acknowledged the widening gap between the U.S. and Israel regarding the post-war scenario. The U.S. urged Israel not to reoccupy Gaza, a plea Israel rejected.

Within the Al-Shifa Hospital complex, the IDF claims to have identified weapons and other elements constituting "terror infrastructure."

Gallant emphasized that Israel would persist in its Gaza campaign until the complete eradication of the Hamas terror group and the safe return of hostages held in the Strip to their families.

“We have 39 newborns in the incubators. Those babies are fighting against death. We are totally stranded, cut off from the outside world and are left without any medical resources. We cannot even bury the dead,” Alreesh told Al Jazeera in an interview.

Specifically, he mentioned that Yahiya Sinwar, who was overseeing Gaza operations for Hamas, is isolated from the rest of the organization's leadership and lower-ranking members.

He emphasized that the situation holds the potential for very serious and dangerous developments in the region, and there may be repercussions that are difficult to prevent.

The United States has been involved in diplomatic efforts to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but the matter of Gaza's status and future remains a subject of negotiations and international discussions.

“The mission [inside Gaza] is to engage with Hamas and simply to dismantle each and every Hamas stronghold that is buried underground in bunkers. We are doing that in slow and meticulous order according to plan. Our advances are good and solid. It is a very challenging battlespace to be in. Hamas has prepared the battlefield, unfortunately, very well. It is totally enmeshed with tunnels,” The Guardian reported.

Ashraf Al-Qudra, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, conveyed this grievous information through a statement released on Tuesday.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas was initiated on October 7 when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, involving the firing of thousands of rockets and the infiltration of Israeli territory.
