IDF shared a CCTV footage that showed Israeli hostages inside Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital.
The CCTV footage, IDF said, has proved that Hamas used Al-Shifa hospital as terrorist infrastructure.
The footage shared by IDF shows 4 to 5 armed men bring an injured man on a stretcher.
IDF claimed in another video, a man is seen resisting armed men while being brought to the a building that resembles a hospital set-up.
“IDF said in a post on X that this is documentation from Shifa Hospital from the day of the massacre, October 7, 2023, between the hours of 10:42 a.m and 11:01 a.m. in which hostages, a Nepalese civilian and a Thai civilian, were abducted from Israeli territory are seen surrounded by armed Hamas terrorists.
One of the hostages is injured and is being carried on a hospital bed and the other is walking,” IDF said in a post on X.
Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari in a statement said that one of them – a soldier identified as pl Noa Marciano, 19, was killed after being taken into al-Shifa hospital with minor injuries.
“This morning we updated Noa’s family that according to our findings, she was kidnapped to a safe house near Shifa,” the IDF chief spokesperson told reporters.
“During IDF air strikes in the area, the Hamas terrorist who was holding Noa was killed and she was wounded in the air strike, but not a life-threatening injury. Noa was taken inside Shifa hospital, where she was murdered by another Hamas terrorist.”
Hamas had claimed that she was killed in an Israeli air strike which occurred on November 9.
Hagari said that the CCTV footage is from October 7, the day Hamas launched its surprise attack on Israel in which over 1,200 people were killed and more than 240 taken hostage.
Israel has been under intense international pressure to substantiate its claim that Hamas is using Al-Shifa hospital as a command centre.
Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza has said that the authenticity of the footage shared by Israeli military can’t be confirmed and reiterated its claim of not having any command centre inside the medical facility.
IDF released a video that shows a tunnel below the ground with reinforced door. Israel claimed that the tunnel was inside the Al-Shifa Hospital.
IDF said that the videos are part of the evidence that “clearly proves” several buildings in the hospital’s vast complex have been “used by Hamas as cover for terrorist infrastructure and activities”.
Another hostage Weiss, who was suffering from cancer, was a resident of kibbutz Be’eri, and was kidnapped by Hamas militants on October 7.
Her husband, Shmuel, was also killed.
It was not immediately clear if the bodies of the two women were found together.
According to authorities, 237 people are being captive in Gaza, including Israelis, foreign nationals and children.
Some 4 civilian hostages have been released by Hamas, and a female soldier was rescued by Israeli forces.
Israel has maintained that the Hamas operates a command centre underneath the Al-Shifa Hospital and also uses the medical complex as a base.
The allegations have been denied by the militant group as well as the Palestinian Health Ministry and the hospital authorities.
