IDF: Hostage was killed in Shifa; clip shows Hamas take 2 other hostages there on Oct 7
- November 20, 2023
The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday released surveillance camera footage from Shifa Hospital showing Hamas terrorists bringing a Nepali and Thai citizen who were abducted from Israel on October 7 to the medical centre in Gaza City, and accused the Palestinian terror organisation of murdering a kidnapped Israeli soldier there. It also shared new footage of the underground network of tunnels and bunkers it says is buried under the hospital, as Israeli forces continue to operate in and around the facility. The army says Hamas uses Shifa and other hospitals as protection for its terror activity, and has specifically singled out Shifa as a key underground operations centre for the group. Israeli officials have been intent on producing evidence of Hamas’s misuse of Shifa to the world, to back up their assertions that the terror organisation uses civilians and civilian infrastructure to shield itself, and thus shore up support for Israel’s ongoing offensive.
