Hamas publishes video showing terror operatives storming Gaza’s Rantisi Hospital
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
A video published by Hamas shows three armed terror operatives running into Gaza City’s Rantisi Hospital after apparently spotting Israeli forces there.
Hamas describes the trio as “martyrdom fighters,” possibly indicating they had suicide vests.
The video shows two blasts, the first apparently following an RPG fired by Hamas at the hospital building, while the origin of the second is unclear.
The IDF has previously shown evidence of Hamas suicide vests found in the Gaza Strip.
Israel accuses Hamas of using Gaza’s hospitals for terror purposes, including Rantisi.
