But Israel vows to pursue its siege until Hamas is destroyed, even underneath Gaza's largest hospital. Yesterday, the Israeli military released this video showing what it called a Hamas tunnel, with its own electricity and ventilation, and protected by a blast-proof door and photos of Hamas fighters on October 7, holding hostages kidnapped from Israel walking through Shifa's hallways.

But when Israel raided the hospital, there were still patients inside, including the most vulnerable. Today, those premature babies arrived in Egypt, the blameless caught in the crossfire loaded one by one into mobile incubators.

Lobna Al-Saik had to choose between evacuating with her youngest daughter or staying with her older children.

Lobna Al-Saik, Mother of Premature Baby (through translator): They are innocent children, premature babies, not to mention toddlers, 3 years old or 5 years old. I left my three children in Gaza. I didn't even get a chance to hug them, because I couldn't leave my daughter in this state.
