The Israeli military has revealed intentions to evacuate infants from Al-Shifa Hospital on Sunday, with an army spokesperson stating that forces will assist in the evacuation procedure.
Despite mounting international calls for a cease-fire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel's campaign against Gaza's ruling Hamas militants will continue with 'full vigour.'
In a televised address, Netanyahu emphasised that a truce would be possible only if all 239 hostages held in Gaza were released.
