Israel posts footage of foreign hostages at Gaza's main hospital

What's the story

Israel has once again upped its claims of Palestinian terror group Hamas using Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital as its base, claiming a captive soldier was executed and two foreign hostages were held at the facility.

In a video post on X (formerly Twitter), the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) alleged that a Nepalese civilian and a Thai national were abducted from Israel during the October 7 attack by Hamas and taken to al-Shifa Hospital.

Context

Why does this story matter?

On October 7, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing at least 1,200 individuals and taking 240 hostages, triggering the ongoing conflict in Hamas-controlled Gaza.

The Jewish nation has since been carrying out retaliatory strikes in Gaza, which has reportedly left over 12,300 Palestinians dead.

Notably, Israel has also been targeting hospitals in Gaza, particularly al-Shifa Hospital, claiming it houses the command center of the terrorist group.

Furthermore, the Israeli army also asserted that the surveillance camera footage proved that the Hamas terrorists used the biggest hospital in Gaza as "terrorist infrastructure."
