Israeli forces on Friday (Saturday AEDT) probed further into civilian infrastructure in northern Gaza for signs of a Hamas presence, announcing that they had found weapons at a school and guiding international reporters to a tunnel shaft on the grounds of the territory’s largest hospital.

As troops searched al-Shifa Hospital for a third day, Israel announced it would allow limited shipments of fuel to the enclave to avoid “epidemics” amid the wreckage of the territory.
