This is "further proof of Hamas’ cynical and systematic modus operandi of exploiting civilian infrastructure as manned terror command posts,” the IDF said.

Hamas terrorists in Gaza
The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday released footage of Palestinian terrorists opening fire from Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
“The use of an active hospital is further proof of Hamas’ cynical and systematic modus operandi of exploiting civilian infrastructure as manned terror command posts,” the IDF said.
The military added that the incident, which took place several days ago, shows that Hamas knowingly endangers the lives of patients, medical staff and innocent civilians in the Strip.
“The IDF will continue to operate resolutely to thwart terrorist activity, while adhering to international law and mitigating harm to civilians,” the statement continued.
In April 2024, the IDF completed a two-week operation to dismantle a Hamas insurgency at Shifa Hospital. The operation followed intelligence indicating that Palestinian terrorists had regrouped inside the medical facility.
According to the military, around 200 terrorists were killed and more than 500 Hamas and Islamic Jihad members were arrested.
U.S. spy agencies have verified Israeli claims that Hamas used Shifa Hospital as a command center. The IDF has said that Palestinian terrorists held at least three hostages at the facility.

Hamas releases propaganda video of Israeli hostage Alon Ohel
Ohel’s family has requested that no photos or excerpts from the video be published.
“Our family is shaken and in pain following the release of Alon’s video by Hamas. It’s evident that Alon is losing vision in his right eye, and he appears thin and distressed,” said the captive’s parents, Idit and Kobi, in a statement issued by the Hostage and Missing Families Forum.
“We demand that as a precondition for any negotiations or additional assistance to Hamas, eye specialists must examine Alon and provide him with treatment,” it continued.
