With no breakthrough in truce talks, Israeli Defence Forces struck the Al Shifa hospital on Saturday. They claim to have shot down over 170 gunmen. On the other hand, the Palestinian Health office says that at least five patients were also killed in the attacks.

Israel war: IDF claims killing over 150 Hamas militants

The Israeli offensive around Gaza's main hospital intensified on Saturday (Mar 23) in which Israel claims to have killed more than 170 gunmen and according to the Palestinian Health Ministry, five patients lost their lives.

The armed wing of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad stated that their fighters were gripped in battles with the Israeli military troops around the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

Israeli military personnel launched its attack on Al Shifa in the early hours of Monday morning and have been inspecting its complex, which, as per the troops, is connected to a tunnel network that the Palestinian militant group Hamas and other Palestinian fighters use as a base.

The Gaza Health Ministry said that the five injured Palestinians "besieged" inside Al Shifa lost their lives because they were denied proper care, water and food for the past six days.

It further added that the health condition of other wounded patients was also deteriorating.

<h2>Hamas denies armed presence</h2>

Hamas has denied any military presence in the area claiming that the ones announced dead by Israeli troops were not fighters but patients and displaced people.

Hamas media stated that elsewhere in Gaza City on Saturday seven Palestinians were killed and several others were injured at the Kuwait roundabout at the time they were waiting for aid trucks.

"We survived death, they shot at us, there are many martyrs, there are many injured, we almost died to get our children a bite to eat," said Alaa al-Khoudary, a resident of Gaza City who had just returned from Kuwait roundabout carrying a bag of aid.

<h2>China and Russia veto US-proposed UN Gaza 'ceasefire' resolution</h2>

Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council's recent session witnessed the rejection of a resolution spearheaded by the United States, advocating for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.&nbsp;

The resolution, proposed amid escalating tensions in the region, aimed to secure a six-week ceasefire to facilitate humanitarian aid delivery and ensure the protection of civilians caught in the conflict.&nbsp;

However, the measure faced significant opposition from two permanent members of the Security Council: Russia and China, who exercised their veto power to block its passage.

The US-led resolution backed support from 11 out of the 15 Security Council members, showing a broad consensus among the international community regarding the urgency of ending the violence in Gaza.

Despite this overwhelming support, the resolution was thwarted by the vetoes of Russia and China, leading to a deadlock in the Security Council's efforts to address the crisis.

Russia on Sunday (Mar 24)&nbsp;launched an aerial assault on&nbsp;Ukraine's capital Kyiv and the western region of Lviv, AFP reported citing&nbsp;officials, prompting&nbsp;Poland, a NATO member to deploy its jets.&nbsp;

"Explosions in the capital. Air defence is working. Do not leave shelters," Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko posted on Telegram. Lviv regional governor&nbsp;Maksym Kozytskyi said Stryi district, south of the city of Lviv, was also under attack.

The assault&nbsp;comes as Russia mourns the tragic terrorist attack on the Moscow concert hall and blames Ukraine for it.

Ukraine's&nbsp;air defence forces destroyed about a dozen of Russia-launched missiles, said&nbsp;Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv's military administration, on&nbsp;Telegram.&nbsp;Preliminary information showed no casualties or major damage as a result of the attacks, he added.

<h2>Poland demands&nbsp;explanation from Russia</h2>

Russia's aerial assault in Ukraine has prompted&nbsp;neighbouring Poland's armed forces to scramble jets to ensure airspace safety near the border. It has been reported that Russia's missiles flew close to the border of the NATO country.&nbsp;

During the attack launched by Moscow,&nbsp;a Russian missile briefly breached Polish airspace.&nbsp;

Polish armed forces said that they were on high alert due to "intensive long-range aviation activity" of Russia and the missile attacks in Ukraine.&nbsp;

It later reported that Russia had violated Poland's&nbsp;airspace with a cruise missile which "entered Polish space near the town of Oserdow (Lublin Voivodeship) and stayed there for 39 seconds."

The missile, according to Polish officials,&nbsp;penetrated the country's&nbsp;airspace by around 1,000-2,000 metres.&nbsp;

US President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump emerged victorious at Louisiana’s presidential primary on Saturday (Mar 23), collecting more delegates after they already clinched their party nominations. None of the races were in suspense, as Biden and Trump have already beaten their major competitors, a report by the news agency Associated Press said.&nbsp;

Biden collected the 48 delegates up for grabs for Democrats, and former President Donald Trump collected the 47 delegates for Republicans.

The primary in Louisiana came almost four years after the state was the first to postpone its primaries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Biden won 132,430 votes in the primary followed by Democrats Marianne Williamson at 7,400 votes and Dean Phillips at 4,079.

Trump, meanwhile, won 165,182 followed by Republicans Nikki Haley at 12,137 votes and Ron DeSantis at 2,863 votes.&nbsp;

For Biden, some liberals are registering their anger with the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. When it comes to Trump, the former president is facing dissent from people worried about his legal cases.

Also on Saturday, the Democratic Party's primary was held in the state of Missouri. This was the Democratic Party's first party-run presidential contest since a new law took effect in August 2022. The results of this primary will be announced no earlier than Monday.&nbsp;

Israel war: Hamas denies presence inside hospital

At least 19 Palestinians were killed Saturday (Mar 23) in an attack by Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) as they were waiting for aid near Al-Kuwait roundabout, Gaza’s health authority claimed. The Israelis were quick to dismiss the allegation, saying the claims were incorrect and an investigation was underway.

“The Israeli occupation commits a massacre, killing 19 and injuring 23 civilians while thousands of citizens were waiting for flour and aid near Al-Kuwait roundabout,” Gaza’s media office said. It added that the Israeli army and tanks opened fire with machine guns “towards the hungry people who were waiting for bags of flour and aid in a place far from posing any danger to the occupation”.

Al-Kuwait roundabout is an area where food is often distributed by aid groups as crowds of desperate people descend upon it to get hold of essentials.

At least 19 Palestinians were killed Saturday (Mar 23) in an attack by Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) as they were waiting for aid near Al-Kuwait roundabout, Gaza’s health authority claimed.

At least 19 Palestinians were killed Saturday (Mar 23) in an attack by Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) as they were waiting for aid near Al-Kuwait roundabout, Gaza’s health authority claimed. The Israelis were quick to dismiss the allegation, saying the claims were incorrect and an investigation was underway. “The Israeli occupation commits a massacre, killing 19 and injuring 23 civilians while thousands of citizens were waiting for flour and aid near Al-Kuwait roundabout,” Gaza’s media office said. It added that the Israeli army and tanks opened fire with machine guns “towards the hungry people who were waiting for bags of flour and aid in a place far from posing any danger to the occupation”. Al-Kuwait roundabout is an area where food is often distributed by aid groups as crowds of desperate people descend upon it to get hold of essentials.

"The shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School occurred after there were clear warning signs, but there were no tools to remove the shooter’s firearm," a White House statement announcing the new resource office said.

"The survivors of the shooting advocated for the passage of a red flag law in Florida, and the tragedy helped to inspire the passage of red flag laws in other states. These laws have been shown to prevent mass shootings and suicides, but the tools made available under these laws are only effective if people are aware of them and can properly invoke them," it added.
