Quote MessageThe masked special forces leading us into the building over debris and broken glass are a sign of how tense the situation still is here. Our presence, just a day after Israel took control of the hospital, speaks volumes about Israel's motivation to show the world why they are here."

Israel is continuing its search of the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, which both Israeli and US intelligence say was a key command centre for Hamas.
Last night, the BBC, along with one US network, was taken by the Israeli army into a small part of the hospital.
Israeli military restrictions meant they weren't allowed to speak to any doctors or patients at the hospital, but there was no censorship on the words used to describe the visit.
BBC correspondent Lucy Williamson was shown rifles, ammunition and body armour, which Israel says Hamas had hidden there.
