Hamas is using hospitals to conceal command operations and weapons as well as using hospital patients as human shields, Israel says.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) said on Nov. 15 that it has delivered crucial supplies to Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital during its ongoing “targeted” ground operation there.

The IDF stated on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it also sent medical teams and Arabic speakers to al-Shifa—the largest hospital in Gaza—to ensure that the supplies reached the civilians.
