Israeli Soldiers Discover Evidence of Hostages at Al-Shaifa Clinic
The Israeli army's recent operation at Al-Shaifa Hospital in Gaza turns up supposed proof of captives kept by Hamas. Allegedly, digital devices seized during the operation contain pictures and videos of abducted individuals, all taken following their kidnapping.
According to the Israeli army spokesperson, officials found the incriminating material on "Hamas-owned" equipment during their thorough search of the hospital. Soldiers reportedly 'swept' through the facility, examining each floor, while over 200 patients and staff remained inside.
The Israeli military's operation at the hospital, deemed 'targeted' by some, was prompted by suspicions of a Hamas command center and weapon caches within. The Islamist Palestinian organization disputes these claims.
Thai Hostages in 'Safe Keeping' by Hamas
On October 7, Hamas militants stormed Israel, causing widespread destruction, particularly among civilians, including numerous women and children. As per Israeli data, around 1200 people lost their lives, and around 240 people were taken captive in Gaza.
Concurrently, the Thai government received assurances from Hamas that the 25 abducted Thais were being "well-treated" in the Gaza Strip. Thai negotiator Lepong Syed reported that a ceasefire was the only condition for their release. Syed expressed optimism that the captives might be freed within "less than ten days."

Previously, the Israeli army presented the public with recovered weapons from Al-Shifa Hospital. The IDF shared a video detailing the findings, including backpacks filled with Hamas terrorist equipment discovered in the MRI department. One backpack bore the Qassam Brigades sticker, Hamas's paramilitary wing, in Arabic.
Israel suspects a Hamas command center lies hidden underneath the medical facility, and has repeatedly claimed the clinic is significant to Hamas due to its tunnel system. According to the BBC, Israeli forces continue searching for the undisclosed hideouts.
The Al-Shifa Hospital operation, as per the Israeli army, unearthed images of the purported abducted hostages, allegedly taken by Hamas following their seizure. Despite the tensions caused by the invasion, the discovery has only served to strengthen Israel's accusations against the group.
