NPR's Ari Shapiro and Greg Myre discuss Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's intentions for Gaza.

Hamas denounced the actions by the Israeli military. The group denied the assertion by Israel and U.S. officials that militants were embedded in Gaza City's Al-Shifa Hospital.

The Israeli military said in a posting on social media that it was launching "a precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area" of the Gaza Strip's largest medical facility.

Israel's military says it's asking everyone at hospitals in northern Gaza to evacuate in its pursuit of Hamas. The hospitals are in dire conditions, and staff on the ground say patients are dying.

The U.N. and World Health Organization pleaded in a joint statement for "decisive international action" to preserve what's left of the health care system in Gaza.

Israel says it wants hospitals in northern Gaza to empty out so it can go after Hamas militants operating there. Palestinians say health care is collapsing in the territory.

An explosion rocks the courtyard in the largest hospital in Gaza. Also, Israeli troops surround several other hospitals as it accuses Hamas of hiding in tunnels below the medical facilities.

This question is part of the bitter Israeli-Palestinian debate over the war in Gaza, where thousands of civilians have been killed.

Israel has already allowed civilians to use a "humanitarian corridor" into southern Gaza in the past week. Thousands of Palestinians have managed to use this time to head south.

Israel says it wants to destroy Hamas and make sure it never again has power in Gaza. The problem is, no one else wants to run the territory.

About 1,400 people were killed in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and more than 240 people were kidnapped. In the four weeks since, almost 10,000 people have been killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza.

Israel's military confirmed a deadly strike near Gaza's largest hospital. The country's leader said Israel's offensive would not relent until Hamas is defeated and the hostages are returned.

Israeli troops have far greater firepower. But elusive Hamas militants are hiding and will seek to ambush Israelis from tunnels that crisscross Gaza.

As Israeli troops advance through Gaza, their target is elusive and dangerous: The Hamas tunnels. The underground network includes military headquarters, sleeping areas and workshops to make rockets.

Israeli airstrikes have leveled apartment buildings in a refugee camp near Gaza City, while evacuees from northern Gaza wait for a chance to pass through the Rafah crossing into Egypt.

Israel bombed the largest refugee camp in Gaza and said it killed a senior Hamas commander. Palestinians said it caused a huge number of civilian casualties.

Thousands of Gaza residents broke into warehouses and distribution centers of the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency, grabbing flour and "basic survival items," the organization said on Sunday.

Israeli troops who fought against Hamas on Oct. 7 prepare for the next battle.

All signs point toward a massive Israeli ground invasion of Gaza as the humanitarian crisis in the coastal territory grows more dire.

As the blame continues on who's responsible for a deadly attack on a Gaza City hospital. President Biden has weighed in. He says he believes it was an errant missile by a Palestinian faction.
