The IDF says some 300 terror suspects have been detained during the ongoing operation at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital.
According to the IDF, among the detainees are “dozens of prominent terrorists” in the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups.
The captured operatives are allegedly involved in directing terror attacks in the West Bank, and include members of Hamas’s propaganda unit and members of Islamic Jihad’s rocket unit, the IDF says.
Suspects detained by the IDF at Shifa are questioned by field interrogators of the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504, before being taken to Israel for further investigation.
The IDF also releases footage showing weapons found by troops in an office adjacent to the Shifa director’s office.
According to the IDF, dozens of gunmen have been killed in the raid so far.
