Palestinians say an Israeli strike hit Gaza's largest hospital compound, with 13 reported dead and dozens wounded, as heavy fighting between Hamas and Israel continues, sending tens of thousands of civilians fleeing their homes. The World Health Organization reports that 20 hospitals in Gaza are now out of action, and the director of the Shifa hospital accuses Israel of launching a war on Gaza City hospitals. Israel claims it does not target civilians and that Hamas fighters have hidden command centers and tunnels beneath hospitals, which Hamas denies. The conflict has sparked international condemnation, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken calling for restraint and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights raising doubts over Israel's establishment of "safe zones" in Gaza. Pro-Palestinian protesters have demonstrated in several countries, including the US and UK, calling for an end to arms sales to Israel and a cease-fire in Gaza. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has warned that the expansion of the conflict has become "inevitable" due to the intensity of Israel's war against Gaza's civilians.
