The IDF said that the decision to initiate the operation was based on intelligence information that many Hamas terrorists had returned to Shifa, including senior operatives, and were using it as a command center for terrorist activities while using the patients as human shields.

IDF forces attack Shifa hospital, rooting out terrorists at the site
The IDF forces surrounded the hospital’s buildings using tanks and heavy weaponry to prevent the escape of terrorists and then special forces entered, using technology to identify the terrorists and remove them from the wards where they were hiding. All this time the soldiers were under fire from the windows of the hospital where terrorists were firing at them. One soldier was lightly wounded in the exchanges.
The IDF and Shin Bet are continuing Monday morning to conduct precise operational activities in the area of A-Shifa hospital. Currently the IDF forces have taken control of the main buildings and are calling on all terrorists left in the hospital to surrender. Many terrorists are apparently still barricaded in the wards, using the patients and doctors as human shields.
Chucky’s pastor mourns for the dead terrorists.
If they arrested 80 terrorists, and kill some others, that means that there are very many terrorists that got by the IDF original invasion of North Gaza.
so there are probably many many more Hamas terrorists all over.
Just bomb the whole place like putin woukd who gets a Mazel tov for winning in a more fair style than 10% joe
The pace and succsess of the IDF is the vision Israel has for when this war ends. We need to have such strong controls so that we can easily come in and out when there is trouble. And so that we can stop the terrorists before they reestablish themselves. To the genusis that say well youi see you weren’t sucessful because look how Hamas came back. That’s silly and shallow. The sucess of the war is that the infrstarcture is so decimated to the point where they can’t easily reorg. It isn’t that every hamas guy get captured. The shifa hospital was a perfect show case. It’s tunnels and weapons’ buildup are gone. When Hamas did return they had nowhere to hide. That’s the point.
Are these Palestinian terrorists acting within International law?
I would so like to make a לחיים with all those חיילים that partook in this operation. Great work taking out the trash.
