IDF Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari delivered an address to the media this evening (Monday) on the discovery of extensive terrorist infrastructure at the Rantisi Children's Hospital in Gaza.
"I just got back from Gaza, where I joined an operation inside the Rantisi Children's Hospital," he began. "I went to the hospital with a video camera and personally documented more concrete evidence. The concrete evidence proves that Hamas uses hospitals as an instrument of war."
"Underneath the hospital, in the basement, we found a Hamas command and control center, suicide bomb vests, grenades, AK-47 assault rifles, explosive devices, RPGs, and other weapons, computers, money, etc," he said.
Admiral Hagari said that the IDF found signs that Hamas held hostages at the hospital and that while the IDF is investigating the matter, "we also have intelligence that verifies it."
"Additionally, we found evidence that Hamas terrorists came from the massacre on October 7 to this hospital, among others, after butchering Israelis in their homes, executing the innocent, murdering entire families, burning babies, burning young women alive," he said, adding that Hamas "uses this children's hospital, Rantisi, to hide."
"Hamas hides in hospitals, today we will expose this to the world," he declared.
"For the last week, we have been conducting an effort to safely evacuate the patients being treated there and at other hospitals as well. Israel helped the hospital manager evacuate the patients to a safer hospital. Yesterday, we were informed by the hospital that the last 18 patients in the Rantisi Hospital had safely evacuated to a safer hospital.
