This is the best summary I could come up with:
“The body of Yehudit Weiss, who was abducted by the Hamas terrorist organisation, was extracted by IDF troops from a structure adjacent to the Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip and was transferred to Israeli territory,” a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces said late on Thursday.
Israel dropped leaflets into southern Gaza, telling Palestinian civilians to leave four towns on the eastern edge of Khan Younis, fuelling fears that its offensive would spread south.
Israel’s army chief said forces were close to destroying what he described as the military system that existed in northern Gaza, a day after the IDF entered the Shifa hospital compound.
The US president, Joe Biden, speaking late on Wednesday, defended his refusal to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, arguing that Hamas represented a continuing threat to Israel and that Israeli forces were seeking to avoid civilian casualties.
Israel has so far released pictures of what it says were rifles and flak jackets found on the premises, but no evidence of a vast underground Hamas command headquarters it said was operating in tunnels beneath it.
Munir al-Boursh, a senior official inside the hospital, said troops ransacked the basement and other buildings and questioned and face-screened patients, staff and people sheltering in the facility, the Associated Press reported.
