"Israeli soldiers continue their raid of Al-Shifa Hospital for the second day. Israel claimed in footage released by the army spokesman they found weapons belonging to Hamas fighters and evidence believed to lead to Israeli hostages held by Hamas, while the hospital administration denied all the Israeli army allegations, accusing the army of systematic lying and fabricating stories."

"Lebanese Hezbollah and Israeli forces intensified their shelling of each other significantly on Thursday, with eight Israeli locations and 12 Lebanese towns coming under attack from each other.
The development of the situation is still worrying. In addition, neighboring and regional powers continue to play their respective roles in active mediation.
According to sources, Egypt is taking massive actions and communications to (help) release hostages held in the Gaza Strip.  
Meanwhile, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Thursday criticized the West for its silence over Israel. He said that is 'horrible.' 
Internationally, the heads of several United Nations humanitarian agencies said in a statement on Thursday that they would not participate in any unilateral proposals to establish a 'safe zone' in the Gaza Strip."
