Watch: Inside Gaza hospital struggling to provide care to newborn babies

A Gaza hospital director reports that malnourished and traumatized mothers are still giving birth to underweight or premature babies, despite a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel that began over three months ago. The hospital is struggling to provide adequate care. While aid to Gaza has increased since the ceasefire, the UN states it remains insufficient to meet the population's needs. Israel maintains it is fulfilling its obligations by allowing more food and medical aid into Gaza. The report highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis and its impact on newborns in the region.

Hamas terrorist who murdered IDF soldier Noa Marciano eliminated in Gaza

The IDF announced the elimination of Muhammad Issam Hassan al-Habil, a Hamas commander, in Gaza City's Shati refugee camp on Wednesday. Al-Habil was killed in an airstrike following a Hamas attack that wounded IDF troops, violating the ceasefire agreement. The IDF and ISA identified al-Habil as the murderer of IDF soldier Noa Marciano, who was abducted from the Nahal Oz outpost during the October 7th massacre and later died while in Hamas captivity. Marciano's body was recovered by Israeli forces in November 2023. The IDF stated that the operation brings closure for Marciano's family and reiterated its commitment to pursuing those involved in the October 7th attacks and preventing future terror attacks.
