Earlier, the Iranian state agency Tasnim, citing local sources, reported that the al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip was completely cut off from power supply, and the Israeli armed forces were conducting massive shelling of the surrounding area of the hospital.
Deputy Minister of Health in Gaza Yousef Abu Rish stated that six premature babies and nine other patients had already died at the hospital due to the lack of electricity needed to support their lives. Senior Advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister Mark Regev reported that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are ready to evacuate newborn children from the hospital.
On October 7, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented-scale rocket attack from the Gaza Strip as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, announced by the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement. After this, the organization’s fighters entered the border areas in southern Israel, where they opened fire on both military and civilians, and also took more than 200 hostages. In Israel, according to the latest government data, about 1.2 thousand people were killed, this number includes civilians, soldiers, foreign citizens and workers, and it was also reported that more than 5 thousand were injured.
In response, the Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Within a few days, the Israeli military took control of all populated areas near the border with Gaza and began carrying out air strikes on targets, including civilians, in the strip. Israel also announced a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip: the supply of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel was stopped.
The death toll from Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip has exceeded 11 thousand, and more than 28 thousand people have been injured. The Russian Embassy reported that during the escalation of the conflict, 20 Russians were killed, two were taken hostage, and seven were listed as missing. According to various sources, about 150 Israelis may be held captive by Hamas. The movement itself stated that there are about 200-250 prisoners in the Gaza Strip.
The Russian Foreign Ministry called on the parties to stop hostilities. According to the position of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the settlement of the Middle East crisis is possible exclusively on the basis of a “two-state” formula approved by the UN Security Council, which provides for the creation of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem.
