Hamas’ exploitation of three of the largest hospitals in Gaza. Inside the Shifa
Hospital complex, a Hamas terrorist tunnel was uncovered.”
In another post, it stated, “Inside the Rantisi
Hospital, yet another terrorist tunnel was unearthed by IDF troops.”
“The Shaldag SF unit, the 7th Brigade, and additional
SF units exposed Hamas’s tunneling infrastructure inside the Shifa Hospital.
They also discovered a booby-trapped vehicle that was prepared for the October
7th massacre, containing a large number of weapons and ammunition,” Israeli Air
Force posted on X.
Taking to X, IDF shared pictures of weapons and
ammunition found in what they said was the Al-Quds Hospital. “Inside the
Al-Quds Hospital, a large amount of weaponry and ammunition were found. This

Meanwhile, the IDF said fighter jets struck several
more Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon. The IDF said that the attacks were
carried out in response to attacks on the northern border, The Times of Israel

According to IDF, anti-tank guided missiles were fired
at a number of army posts on the border near the Biranit base and the northern
community of Rosh Hanikra. No injuries were reported in the attacks.
On Thursday, the IDF shared a video showing weapons
inside Gaza’s Al Shifa Hospital. In the video posted on X, Israel Defence
Forces (IDF) Lt Col Jonathan Conricus toured Al-Shifa Hospital’s MRI building.
In the video, he said, “We’re inside the MRI centre of
the Shifa Hospital. Israeli troops breached here a few hours ago and we have
cleared the area, made sure that it’s safe. A few of the most interesting
things that we have found totally confirmed without any doubt that Hamas
systematically uses hospitals in their military operations in violation of
international law and what we have found. I think, it is only the tip of the
iceberg.”
“Let me show you a few examples. Security cameras have
been obstructed, all of the security cameras are covered, and this isn’t the
only one. You’ll see the rest of them here,” he added.
Conricus also said Israel Defence Forces had found a
laptop in an MRI room, which is now being analysed by Israel’s intel personnel.
He also showed medical equipment, including bandages.
While sharing the video on X, the IDF stated, “Watch
as LTC (res.) Jonathan Conricus exposes the countless Hamas weapons IDF troops
have uncovered in the Shifa Hospital’s MRI building.”
The IDF said its IDF fighter jets hit the home of
exiled Hamas’ Political Bureau head, Ismail Haniyeh in the Gaza Strip. The IDF
said that the house was used as terrorist infrastructure and a meeting point
for Hamas’ senior leaders to direct terrorist attacks against Israel.
The head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail
Haniyeh, resides in Qatar, but his family home is in the Gaza strip, The Times
of Israel reported.
The IDF stated, “IDF fighter jets struck the residence
of Ismail Haniyeh, the Head of Hamas’ Political Bureau. The residence was used
as terrorist infrastructure and a meeting point for Hamas’ senior leaders to
direct terrorist attacks against Israel.”
