The Israel Defense forces say that troops continue to carry out searches in the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis and have so far apprehended more than 20 terrorists who took part in the October 7 massacres.
Forces from the elite Maglan and naval commando unit also found mortars, grenades and other weaponry belonging to Hamas inside the medical facility, the IDF says.
In addition, dozens of suspects have been taken for questioning.
IDF troops entered the hospital yesterday, saying they had information that hostages had been held there and some bodies may still be at the site.
The military says it will “continue to operate in accordance with international law against the Hamas terror group, which has systematically operated from within hospitals and other civilian infrastructures.”
