GL HERO SHIMA Posted March 23, 2024 Posted March 23, 2024 Israel says 170 Gaza gunmen killed in hospital raid Lorenzo Tondo Over 170 gunmen have been killed during a prolonged operation at the main hospital in Gaza, Israeli forces revealed on Saturday. However, according to Hamas representatives, the deceased individuals identified in Israeli reports were not combatants but rather patients and displaced individuals. Hamas denounced Israel for alleged war crimes. At the break of dawn on Monday, Israeli troops ventured into al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City and commenced a thorough search of the extensive facility, which the military claims is linked to a tunnel network serving as a base for Hamas and other Palestinian combatants. “Thus far, the forces have neutralised in excess of 170 terrorists within the hospital vicinity, interrogated more than 800 suspects, and uncovered numerous weapons and infrastructure associated with terror activities,” stated the Israeli military. The military disclosed on Thursday that over 350 militants from Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been apprehended at the hospital, marking the largest number captured simultaneously since the onset of the war last October. Contrary to the military’s assertions, Hamas and medical personnel refute claims that the hospital is used for military purposes or to harbour fighters. Hamas representatives have recently contended that the deceased individuals previously identified in Israeli reports were not combatants but rather civilian patients. Both the claims from Hamas and Israeli forces could not be independently verified.
