The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israel Security Agency (ISA) announced this Thursday (21) that their troops have arrested more than 600 people so far in the operation at Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest in the Strip. Gaza.
More than 140 people were killed in the action, according to the agencies in a joint statement.
Israeli forces say they have recovered several weapons and intelligence documents and arrested people, including high-ranking members of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization. A CNN could not verify the IDF and ISA claims.
The Israeli military launched the operation in Al-Shifa on Monday (18), when it alleged that “senior Hamas terrorists” were using the facilities to “conduct and promote terrorist activities”.
Hamas has denied more than once the use of hospitals as a base for its activity. The Gaza Ministry of Health, controlled by the armed group, warned that thousands of Palestinians were seeking refuge in Al-Shifa before the operation began.
