IDF Chief Spokesman R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari revealed late Monday night an underground Hamas command center under the Rantisi Hospital that not only contained suicide vests, rocket-propelled grenades and a variety of weapons but also indications, such as baby bottles, that Hamas had held Israeli hostages there.
He said there was evidence and independent separate intelligence that Hamas terrorists had returned directly to the hospital after their attacks and mass murders of Israelis on October 7.

IDF reveals very hard evidence of war crimes in the Rantisi Hospital in Gaza including a room where hostages were suspected to be kept, including children.
A video showing the basement of the hospital revealed a location disconnected from the rest of the medical facility where the significant stash of terror explosives and armaments were kept.
Hostage held under Gaza hospital, IDF says
Hagari showed a motorcycle with a bullet hole inside it and items connected to one of the hostages in the vicinity of the motorcycle.
One of the chairs showed ropes and other items indicating that a hostage had been held there.
A baby bottle and other baby materials were found which the IDF said were connected to a hostage baby. There were also improvised toilets, which Hagari said was infrastructure to hold hostages.
A list on a board marked the days since October 7, possibly indicating when the terrorists left, likely with hostages.
He said he was not sure if the terrorists used the evacuation to escape or used additional networks of underground tunnels.
