Over 250 Palestinians have been killed and injured in an ongoing Israeli raid on al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, according to the government media office. The Israeli army raided the facility on Monday, which houses thousands of ill and wounded patients and displaced people. The Israeli forces opened fire as they stormed the hospital, killing and injuring more than 250 civilians. The media office said several children were executed by Israeli forces at the hospital, without providing any further details. The Israeli army said that its forces had killed 50 Palestinians and detained 180 others during its raid on the hospital. At least 14,000 children are among the at least 31,810 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since last October. The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza has said at least 31,819 people have been killed in the territory during more than five months of Israel's war on Gaza.
