Tried delivering 300 litres fuel to Gaza's Shifa hospital but Hamas forbade: Israel

The Israeli military on November 13 claimed that its troops risked their lives to hand-deliver 300 litres of fuel to the Shifa hospital for urgent medical purposes but Hamas forbade the hospital from taking it.

In a social media post, The Israel Defense Forces wrote, "Our troops risked their lives to hand-deliver 300 liters of fuel to the Shifa hospital for urgent medical purposes. Hamas forbade the hospital from taking it. Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry has been warning for weeks that its hospitals are running out of fuel. If so, why would they prevent the hospital from receiving it?"

Earlier, three babies died in the neonatal unit of Al-Shifa hospital.

More than 11,000 Palestinians have reportedly been killed since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out. About 1,400 Israelis were reportedly killed in Hamas' October 7 attack.
