Operation Iron Swords
Updated to 1 p.m., November 19, 2023

Overview
The southern arena: During the past few days the IDF forces continued operations at Shifa
Hospital and in several other neighborhoods in Gaza City. In the northern Gaza Strip they
operated in Beit Hanoun, Zeitoun, Beit Lahia and Jabalia, and destroyed a Palestinian Islamic
Jihad (PIJ) post where they found a large quantity of strategic weapons. Several operations
were also carried out in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, where weapons were found
hidden in kindergartens, schools and children’s rooms in residential apartments. Hamas
continues to report successes and accuses the IDF of operating at Shifa Hospital, under false
pretenses by claiming Hamas headquarters are located there. Hamas also accused the IDF of
attacking an UNRWA school where Gazans took shelter, killing 200 people.
