Since 2014 we have covered Hamas embedded itself inside, around, and under Shifa Hospital complex, comprising many buildings, in Gaza city.

Even after Israel cleared the hospital complex of Hamas, Hamas returned and started using the hospital again, leading to an Israeli raid last night. The intitial reports were that a “Senior” Hamas official was the target, but until this morning, his identify was not released:

🔴IDF troops are currently conducting a precise operation in the area of Shifa hospital—based on intelligence information indicating the use of the hospital by senior Hamas terrorists to conduct and promote terrorist activity.
