• Following a two-week raid, Israeli forces withdrew from the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City on Monday. BBC News
• In a statement following the withdrawal, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they exited the compound after a “precise” operation that “killed terrorists” and found “numerous weapons and intelligence documents,” while claiming to prevent “harm to civilians, patients and medical teams.” BBC News
• However, images and videos of the hospital — already out of service after previous Israeli attacks — showed it charred and heavily damaged. Health officials in Gaza also rejected Israel’s assertions that the hospital was used by Hamas fighters for military purposes. Associated Press (LR: 3 CP: 5)

• Following the Israeli withdrawal, the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said that the bodies of dozens of civilians, some of them decomposed, have been recovered from in and around the Al-Shifa hospital. It added that the complex was set on fire after the Israeli exit, leaving it “completely out of service.” WION
