Israeli military warns Gazans to evacuate Al-Shifa Hospital as raid continues

IDF claims it has arrested more than 500 suspected militants during the raid. Displaced Gazans at Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza were reportedly being told to evacuate immediately Thursday, as Israel's raid on the hospital continues into a fourth day amid the ongoing war with Hamas. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched an operation at Al-Shifa on Monday, claiming "senior Hamas terrorists" were using the hospital, located in Gaza City and the largest in the strip, to "conduct and promote terrorist activity." People near the area are now purportedly being told to leave as reports emerge of some buildings in the vicinity of the complex being detonated. The IDF said it continues to conduct "precise operational activity in the hospital." Israeli officials have said more than 140 Hamas terrorists have been killed and more than 500 suspected militants have been arrested throughout the course of the operation. The IDF claimed many weapons and intelligence documents from Hamas have been uncovered during searches in the hospital, as well as about $3 million in U.S. currency plus Jordanian dinars that were allegedly "earmarked for terrorism." ABC News has not independently verified the IDF's claims.
