 CNN - Israeli special forces have entered Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis after receiving "credible intelligence from a number of sources, including from released hostages," that Hamas had previously held hostages at the hospital, the Israel Defense Forces said. The move comes a day after hundreds of civilians were forced by Israeli forces to leave the hospital, which they had been using as a shelter. Meanwhile, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday reiterated his intention to order concerted military operations in Rafah, Gaza's most populated city. A growing number of world leaders have called on Israel to avoid a ground operation in the region, but Netanyahu has vowed that his country will fight "until the absolute victory."
