The IDF says troops have detained dozens of terror operatives who attempted to leave Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis in recent days.
According to the IDF, troops of the Commando Brigade searched the Nasser and al-Amal hospitals “to make sure that the Hamas terror organization does not establish its infrastructure there again.”
The dozens of suspects have been handed over to the Shin Bet security agency and Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504 for further interrogation, the army says.
Also amid the operations in the al-Amal neighborhood of Khan Younis, the IDF says the commandos captured weapons and killed dozens of gunmen.
