The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) reported that Monday evening its forces continue to operate in the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City to "counter terrorism in a targeted manner."
Israel Defence Force (IDF) Spokesperson RAdm Daniel Hagari said in the wee hours of Monday that the operation is a response to concrete intelligence requiring immediate action, emphasising that the objective is to combat Hamas militants rather than harm civilians.
Israel Defence Forces (IDF) spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that Israel will continue to expose the terrorist infrastructure of Hamas in Gaza, with an emphasis on Khan Yunis.
The critical infrastructure in Gaza has suffered extensively due to fuel and supply shortages, coupled with targeted attacks on hospitals and UN facilities, since Israel initiated strikes on October 7.
The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) released footage on Monday of two Hamas terrorists explaining to interrogators how they used an ambulance to kidnap Thai and Nepalese agricultural workers during the massacre of October 7 and taking them to the Shifa Hospital.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it completed its operational assessment of the cease-fire lines. Friday morning the IDF forces destroyed the terrorist tunnel that was exposed in Shifa Hospital.
Citing the allegations that hospitals in Gaza Strip are being used as 'terror bases', the Israel Defense Forces put forth a question to the international community: what will it do to prevent the hospitals from being used by Hamas for its objectives.
Along with the shared video was a text that read, "This is WHY Hamas brought hostages to the Shifa Hospital after the October 7 massacre. Why is Hamas still holding over 200 civilians hostage 44 days later?"
