The Israeli army continues to explore every nook and cranny of al-Shifa hospital in Gaza this Monday morning, the suspected headquarters of Hamas terrorists. A thesis that the IDF supported with videos which allegedly show hostages in the corridors of the hospital, on October 7, the day of the Hamas terrorist attack on Israeli soil. But where do these images come from? We take stock.
Crucial images at a time of a potential agreement for a major release of hostages by Hamas. Several videos, released by the Israeli army, appear to show hostages in the corridors of al-Shifa hospital, currently at the heart of the Israeli response because it is suspected of being the alleged headquarters of Hamas terrorists.
“It’s October 7 at 10:55 a.m. The evidence I’m going to share was sent by Israel to the diplomatic channels of these civilians’ countries. Here you can see Hamas taking a hostage in the surrounding area. It didn’t even looks like he needs treatment, but they take him to the hospital. I will now share this video which shows the same hostage entering the hospital with the shooters, the terrorists inside the hospital,” describes a soldier on a video released by the Israeli army.
Surveillance videos recovered
At a time when negotiations on the release of the hostages are about to be concluded, according to Qatar, which plays the mediator, these videos provide valuable information to the Hebrew State. They are dated from the day of their kidnapping, October 7. These are videos from the video surveillance tapes of al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. We see white Toyota pick-ups identified as having been used by Hamas terrorists during infiltrations into Israeli territory.
There are also two other military jeeps belonging to the Israeli army, undoubtedly stolen during the raid. But what is striking in these images is that the medical staff seem to be totally indifferent to the comings and goings of these armed men within the hospital who hide neither their weapons nor the hostages they bring back. . Later identified as a Nepalese and a Thai, one of them is lying on a stretcher and appears injured. Proof, if one were still needed, according to the IDF, that Hamas uses Gaza hospitals to shelter there.
The Israeli army also released a video showing under the hospital a tunnel 55 meters long and ten meters deep, connecting two buildings of the largest hospital complex in the Gaza Strip.
