Israel is touting the raid as a victory, but days of heavy fighting showed Hamas can still put up resistance even in one of the hardest-hit areas of Gaza.

The Israeli military has withdrawn from Gaza's largest hospital after a two-week raid, leaving behind several bodies and a vast swath of destruction, according to Palestinian residents. The military described the raid on al-Shifa Hospital as one of the most successful operations of the nearly six-month war. It said it killed scores of Hamas and other militants, including senior operatives, and seized weapons and valuable intelligence. It confirmed forces had withdrawn early on Monday.

At least 21 patients had died since the raid began, World Health Organisation director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus posted late on Sunday on X, formerly Twitter. He said more than 100 patients were still inside the compound, including four children and 28 critical patients. He also said there were no nappies, urine bags or water to clean wounds, and many patients suffered from infections and dehydration.
