The Israeli army launched a “targeted” operation on Wednesday in the Al-Chifa hospital, which it accuses of housing an underground Hamas base, something denied by the management of the establishment and the Islamist movement. The international community demands humanitarian pauses.
Israel announces having found Hamas equipment and weapons at Al-Chifa hospital during a new military operation.
Yesterday, the IDF carried out an incursion into the very grounds of Al-Chifa hospital, which it accuses of housing an underground Hamas base, to carry out a so-called “targeted” operation. The hospital management and the Islamic movement deny these allegations, and claim that the Israeli army found nothing.
To support its claims, the Israeli army published several videos showing its soldiers recovering equipment and weapons, which allegedly belonged to Hamas. Since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, the battle for communication and images have become crucial issues.
Israeli authorities regularly accuse Palestinian Hamas of using Al-Chifa hospital as a military base; the site represents an essential objective in its war against the Islamic movement.
The military operations of the Israeli army in the main hospital in Gaza have raised serious concerns within the international community over the fate of patients and thousands of trapped civilians.
For the first time since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, the UN Security Council has called for “humanitarian pauses and corridors” in the Gaza Strip.
