Israel believes that the maternity ward in Gaza City’s Shifa hospital was being used as Hamas propaganda headquarters, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
The IDF is expected to release photos from the ward to back up the assessment.
On Monday, the army said Hamas gunmen were firing on troops from the maternity ward, among other medical facilities in the hospital-slash-battle zone.
