IDF Arrests 240 Terror Suspects in Northern Gaza Hospital
(Ynet News) Einav Halabi - The IDF announced Saturday it had arrested more than 240 suspects at a Hamas command center located inside Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabalya in northern Gaza. The hospital was being used for military activities in violation of international law. Troops faced resistance during the operation, including anti-tank fire from terrorists. The detainees included members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as well as 15 individuals implicated in the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel. Among those arrested were engineering and anti-tank missile operatives and the hospital's director, suspected of being a Hamas operative. Some detainees attempted to evade capture by posing as patients or fleeing in ambulances. Prior to the operation, 350 patients, medical staff and caregivers were evacuated from the hospital. The hospital had been supplied with tens of thousands of liters of fuel, food and medical supplies in recent weeks to ensure its functionality.
