The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is alleging the discovery of a Hamas military base under their largest hospital.

"Hamas terrorists operate inside and under Shifa hospital - and other hospitals in Gaza - with a network of terror tunnels," said IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari. "Shifa is not the only hospital - it is one of many. Hamas-use of hospitals is systematic."
The Al-Shifa Hospital is the largest medical care facility in Gaza, with 1,500 beds and over 4,000 staff members.
"We have concrete evidence that hundreds of terrorists flooded into the hospital to hide there after the massacres of October 7," he added.
A senior Hamas leader called the allegations "baseless" in a statement reported by the Times of Israel.
Izzat al-Rishq said, "these lies represent a prelude to a new massacre against our people, greater than the one of the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital" - referring to the Oct. 17 blast that U.S. intelligence determined was likely caused by an Islamic Jihad rocket misfiring. Hamas has blamed Israel for the explosion and accused the Jewish state of committing war crimes against the Palestinian people.
"Over 40,000 have sought refuge in Al-Shifa hospital, as they were displaced by the bombing that hit everything," al-Rishq said. "We call on the leaders of Arab and Muslim countries to take action and stop the genocide against our people."... (Read more)
