On Thursday, Israel Defence Forces shared a video showing weapons inside Gaza’s Al Shifa Hospital. In the video posted on X, Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Lt Col Jonathan Conricus toured Al-Shifa Hospital’s MRI building.
In the video, he said, “We’re inside the MRI centre of the Shifa Hospital. Israeli troops breached here a few hours ago and we have cleared the area, made sure that it’s safe. A few of the most interesting things that we have found totally confirmed without any doubt that Hamas systematically uses hospitals in their military operations in violation of international law and what we have found. I think it is only the tip of the iceberg.” “Let me show you a few examples. Security cameras have been obstructed, all of the security cameras are covered, and this isn’t the only one. You’ll see the rest of them here,” he added.
Conricus also said Israel Defence Forces had found a laptop in an MRI room, which is now being analyzed by Israel’s intel personnel. He also showed medical equipment, including bandages.
