Following IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari's statement regarding the list of terrorists caught during the raid on the Shifa Hospital complex, the IDF issued a clarification today (Friday) that due to human error in the graphics department, some of the people in the collage of Hamas prisoners the IDF put out have not yet been arrested - including Ra'ed Salah, head of operations for Hamas.
According to the IDF: "Yesterday, a picture was distributed where the IDF revealed terrorists caught in recent days by IDF forces in the Shifa Hospital area. Due to human error, a number of pictures in the graphic are of terrorists who have not yet been caught but who are, according to the information in our possession, in the hospital area and are hunkering down there."
The IDF also stated that "IDF forces are continuing the effort to bring about their arrest. When the operation ends, the identities of all the terrorists will be published. The claim that this is psychological warfare is baseless."
"The operation in Shifa is the largest since the beginning of the war. We captured the entire leadership of Islamic Jihad, we captured 358 terrorists, we killed 140," IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said last night. "During the last 24 hours, we entered the Qatari building, where terrorists hunkered down. They were eliminated, and we arrested very important senior Hamas leaders, whose identity we cannot yet make public - because they possess important intelligence. We will release their names when their interrogation is over."
