Israel’s military claims to have killed approximately 90 gunmen and arrested 160 individuals during a raid on Gaza’s Al Shifa hospital, Reuters reports.
The military stated that the raid was carried out to eliminate terrorists and confiscate weapons while ensuring the safety of civilians, patients, and medical staff. The raid involved special forces supported by infantry and tanks, based on intelligence suggesting the hospital’s reutilization by gunmen.
Israel had previously faced criticism for a similar raid last November, during which tunnels used by Hamas were allegedly found. Hamas and medical staff deny that the hospital was used for military purposes or to shelter fighters.
