이스라엘, 하나남은 가자 대형병원 기습 하마스 인질 못찾아 Israeli forces have again, raided a hospital in Gaza, which they say was part of a search for the remains of hostages taken by Hamas. Meanwhile, a wall is being built in the desert of Egypt, close to the border of the war-torn Gaza Strip But the Egyptian government hasn’t made any official comments about this. Lee Eun-jin reports with the latest. On Thursday, Israeli forces raided the biggest functioning hospital in southern Gaza, claiming they were seeking the remains of hostages taken by Hamas. The Israeli military said it had “credible intelligence“ of Hamas holding hostages at the Nasser Hospital. According to chief military spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, forces conducted a “precise and limited“ operation there, without forcibly evacuating medics or patients. Israel has accused Hamas of using hospitals and other civilian structures to shield its fighters. The raid on Nasser Hospital came hours after an Israeli attack killed a patient and wounded 6 others inside the complex. The Gaza Health Ministry said that as troops searched hospital buildings, they ordered more than 460 staff, patients, and their relatives to move into an older building in the compound that isn’t equipped to treat patients, adding that fuel for generators would soon run out, which would endanger the lives of those in intensive care. Meanwhile, a wall is being built in Egypt, close to its border with the war-torn Gaza Strip. Footage and satellite imagery obtained by news outlets show that a plot of land has been cleared off, and a wall is being built in the buffer zone between Egypt and Rafah, apparently over concerns that refugees from Gaza will spill over across the border. Rafah is now overflowing with over a million displaced Palestinians struggling to survive in tents and makeshift shelters with scarce access to food and other critically needed supplies The New York Times has reported that their analysis of the satellite images indicated that the work began around February 5th. According to an interview with a contractor and an engineer, the Egyptian Army commissioned the building of a five-meter-high concrete wall to close off a five-square-kilometer plot of land at the site. But the Egyptian government has declined to discuss the new construction.
