Documentation: 70 Hamas Terrorists Left the Hospital and Surrendered

Widespread arrest in Gaza: IDF fighters from the 460th Brigade Combat Team of the 162nd Division, in cooperation with the Shin Bet, operated today (Thursday) in the area of the 'Kamal Adwan' hospital and found a building used by Hamas operatives where weapons were stored. During the operation in the area of the hospital, the fighters eliminated several terrorists in various encounters.

At the same time, the IDF spokesman informed that over 70 operatives who left the hospital were arrested and taken for questioning with weapons and means of warfare. The terrorists were taken with the field investigators of Unit 504 in the Intelligence Division and Shin Bet coordinators for further investigation procedures.

The commander of the 460th brigade, Col. Dvir, said that "in the last two days, the fighters of the brigade have been evacuating the hospital, which was used as a stronghold for terrorists and from which they came out to attack our forces. During the evacuation, many weapons were found in the hospital, and many terrorists left the hospital and are now in custody. During the two recent days, we removed thousands of civilians from the hospital in order to prevent injury to innocents."
