In a startling development that may further push the Gaza Strip deeper into trouble, the Israel Defence Force has captured 20 Hamas terrorists from a hospital in the Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis. With these arrests, Tel Aviv may further emphasize that Hamas has used hospitals for terror attacks. The Hamas fighters were hiding inside a Khan Younis hospital in Gaza. They were arrested by the Jewish troops aided by medical staff waiting on a delivery of oxygen tanks.

Al-Amal Hospital raided

If media reports are to be believed, the search in the hospital was conducted with prior coordination with the hospital staff.

Quoting the Israeli military, 'The New York Post' reported that the IDF special units were deployed to the Al-Amal Hospital last week after intelligence suggested Hamas members were operating inside the civilian space, according to the Israeli military Saturday.

IDF: Hamas modus operandi exposed

The IDF said in a statement that the operation once again proved the cynical modus operandi of the Hamas terror organization, which used hospitals and the civilian population to hide terrorists.

It also said that with the help of the Al-Amal Hospital staff, the soldiers were able to locate the terrorists and subdue them without firing a shot or disrupting any medical procedures.

IDF has claimed that it worked with the Coordination and Liaison Administration for Gaza to deliver more than 20 oxygen tanks donated to the hospital. It also said that before the operation, its troops were briefed on “the importance of preventing harm to patients, medical staff, civilians, and medical equipment, by international law.”
