A wounded Palestinian boy arrives to the emergency room of the al-Shifa hospital, following Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City, central Gaza Strip, Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023. Gaza's Shifa Hospital has become the focus of a days-long stalemate in Israel's war against Hamas. Israel claims Hamas uses the facility for military purposes and has built a vast underground command center below the hospital. Since Israel declared war against Hamas, its forces have moved in on Shifa. But hundreds of doctors and patients remain inside. In the basement of Rantisi Hospital (not pictured), Israel Defense Forces officials said, troops also found evidence that hostages taken by Palestinian Hamas militants in a deadly one-day rampage last month may have been held there at one point.
