The IDF believes that despite the terrorists’ return to Shifa after the first IDF takeover in November, that this recent operation was the most single damaging operation to Hamas of the war.
Now, top officers do not even refer to Shifa as “Shifa Hospital” but as “the Shifa compound” to reflect their belief that it was more a command center than an abused hospital.
Palestinian reports noted that clashes between Israeli forces and terrorists could be heard in the hospital's vicinity.
At the Shifa Hospital on Sunday, Nahal forces killed terrorists and located numerous weapons hidden within the complex.
To further understand Hamas's return to Shifa Hospital, it is imperative to understand that these terrorists are more like aging members of a mafia than aging terrorists.
Ground forces and IAF operated and dismantled terrorist infrastructure and destroyed missile launch sites within the Gaza Strip.
The attack was precise and left the hospital undamaged and operational, "Regular functioning was not affected," the IDF said.
Several terrorists were eliminated in the raid in close combat with Israeli forces, including senior Hamas leader Ra'ad Thabat and Mahmoud Khalil Ziqzouq.
Despite Hamas’s disregard for morality, many reputable outlets continue to amplify the terrorist group’s figures and claims.
Guided by intelligence information, fighters found and destroyed several rockets that were aimed at Israeli territory.
