Journalist Douglas Murray has entered Gaza with the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) along the same route used by Hamas when it invaded Israel on October 7th.

He was able to get to within one kilometre of the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, where Israeli forces continue to search for tunnels that Hamas fighters may have withdrawn to, perhaps with Israeli hostages.

This hospital has been described as the command centre of Hamas operations, making it a focus of Israel's military offensive.

Speaking to TalkTV's Julia Hartley-Brewer, he said: "It is one of the main centres of the fighting and you can see that everywhere. The minute you get past the fence, you can see the villages, there's one place called Zeitoun where there's very considerable firefights and explosions.
