JAKARTA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is looking for an 'irusion' at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, Hamas said.

Netanyahu and his war cabinet are looking for mere imagination that shows their inability and arrogance, said Abu Obaida, spokesman for Hamas' armed wing, Al-Qassam Brigade, in a speech reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Saturday, November 18.

"The attack (military) on hospitals to show off power is proof of their failure and defeat," he said.

Israeli forces stormed the largest medical complex in the Al-Shifa Strip on Wednesday as part of its attack on the Gaza Strip.

According to Abu Obaida, Hamas fighters are ready to face a long-term battle. The longer the occupation remains in Gaza, the greater their loss will be," he continued.

Israeli forces have been carrying out air and ground attacks in the Gaza Strip since the cross-border attack by Hamas on October 7.

According to the latest data from Palestinian authorities, more than 12,000 Palestinians, including more than 8,300 women and children, have been killed by Israeli security forces since October 7, while another 30,000 have been injured.

Thousands of buildings such as hospitals, mosques and churches were damaged or even destroyed by Israeli bombarders.

Meanwhile, the death toll on the Israeli side amounted to 1,200 people, according to official data from the Zionist country.
