Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel has no plans to stop the war after the ceasefire.

The babies had been trapped without food, water and electricity inside the hospital, which Israel had laid siege to for days before raiding on Nov. 15.

About 1,000 to 1,500 people were forced to flee the hospital, leaving only about 125 seriously injured patients, five doctors and some nurses inside, Palestinian officials said.

The UN's agency for Palestinian refugees said that up to 7,000 people had been sheltering inside the school at the time.
