Israel last night appeared to have captured Gaza’s parliament building.<\/p>\n
A picture showed troops posing with guns and Israeli flags inside a chamber at the Palestinian Legislative Council building in Gaza City.<\/p>\n
The Israel Defence Forces told the Mail the picture’s authenticity had not yet been established, but a spokesman added: ‘We have no reason to think it is not [genuine].’<\/p>\n
Israel’s defence minister Yoav Gallant last night said Hamas has ‘lost control’, adding: ‘There is no force of Hamas capable of stopping the IDF. The IDF is advancing to every point.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘The Hamas organisation has lost control of Gaza. Terrorists are fleeing south. Civilians are looting Hamas bases. They have no confidence in the government.’<\/p>\n

Israel’s defence minister Yoav Gallant (right, pictured with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu) last night said Hamas has ‘lost control’, adding: ‘There is no force of Hamas capable of stopping the IDF. The IDF is advancing to every point’<\/p>\n
It came as the IDF was said to be finalising plans to storm tunnel networks in Gaza to free the 239 hostages held there as hopes faded of a deal with Hamas.<\/p>\n
Attempts to negotiate the release of the hostages seized on October 7 were approaching a ‘critical moment’, according to Gershon Baskin, who facilitated the last hostage exchange with Hamas in 2011.<\/p>\n
‘Within the next few days or even hours, if there isn’t a deal for the release of hostages by agreement, military operations to go into the places hostages might be held will begin,’ he told The Times.<\/p>\n
It was claimed yesterday that seven babies have now died in the neo-natal unit of Gaza’s biggest hospital, which Israeli troops have surrounded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Hamas deputy health minister Youssef Abu Rish said 27 adult patients at Al Shifa hospital had also died since the weekend due to fuel shortages.<\/p>\n
Terrorists exchanged fire with IDF troops at the hospital, said to sit on top of Hamas’ main command bunker and tunnels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inside the neo-natal unit, pictures emerged of babies wrapped in green fabric taped around them for warmth.<\/p>\n
‘Yesterday I had 39 babies and today they have become 36,’ said Dr Mohamed Tabasha, head of the paediatric department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I cannot say how long they can last. I can lose another two babies today, or in an hour.’<\/p>\n
The IDF released footage claiming to show Hamas fighters at a second hospital in Gaza City, al-Quds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The IDF said its troops were fired on from the hospital entrance, where the terrorists ’embedded’ themselves among civilians. Israel said ‘approximately 21 terrorists were killed’.<\/p>\n
