The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday released surveillance camera footage from Shifa Hospital showing Hamas
...one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,......Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

City, and accused the Paleostinian terror organization of murdering a kidnapped Israeli soldier there.
It also shared new footage of the underground network of tunnels and bunkers it says is buried under the hospital, as Israeli forces continue to operate in and around the facility. The army says Hamas uses Shifa and other hospitals as protection for its terror activity, and has specifically singled out Shifa as a key underground operations center for the group.
Israeli officials have been intent on producing evidence of Hamas’s misuse of Shifa to the world, to back up their assertions that the terror organization uses civilians and civilian infrastructure to shield itself, and thus shore up support for Israel’s ongoing offensive.
The three hostages featured in the IDF’s Sunday briefing were among over 240 people seized in the Paleostinian terror group’s onslaught six weeks ago, when Hamas-led
Israel declared war on Hamas in response, launching an aerial campaign and a subsequent ground offensive that is aimed at toppling the Gaza-ruling terror group and securing the release of the hostages. The ground operation, in which 63 soldiers have been killed, has concentrated on northern Gaza but is expected to expand to the Strip’s south in the future stages of the war.
Over the past week, the military has been operating in and around Shifa, uncovering what it has said is evidence of Hamas’s use of the site for terrorist activities. The IDF has said it was working to evacuate as many patients as possible from the compound.
In the footage published Sunday by the military, one of the hostages is visibly maimed in his arm and is brought in on a hospital bed, while the second is forcefully dragged into the hospital on his feet.
"These findings prove that the Hamas terror organization used Shifa Hospital on the day of the massacre itself as terror infrastructure," the IDF said.
The IDF said it had notified "relevant authorities" about the footage.

The army also released an infographic showing the locations near the Shifa complex where the bodies of hostages Yehudit Weiss and Cpl. Noa Marciano were found several days ago.
According to IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, Marciano was maimed by an IDF strike on November 9, while held in Gaza, and later taken to Shifa, where she was murdered.
"Noa was kidnapped to an apartment next to Shifa Hospital. During the IDF strikes in Gaza, a Hamas terrorist who was holding her was killed," Hagari said Sunday during a daily press briefing.
"The pathology report states that Noa was injured by the strike, but not in a life-threatening manner, and this is contrary to the lies published by Hamas according to which Noa was killed by IDF strikes," he said.
"According to intelligence information, Noa was taken inside the walls of Shifa Hospital, where she was murdered by a Hamas terrorist," he added.
Additionally, the IDF together with the Shin Bet security agency released new footage showing part of Hamas’s tunnel network underneath Shifa. The clips were taken from two separate devices that were lowered into a tunnel entrance discovered by the IDF on Thursday in the Shifa complex.
The IDF has said for weeks that a major network of tunnels and bunkers exists under Shifa, but Sunday’s footage was the first clear underground footage revealing a part of that infrastructure.
The tunnel shaft had been located on the hospital grounds under a canopy, where IDF troops had also found a Hamas pickup truck with weapons in it, similar to those used by the terror group in the October 7 attacks.
The new videos showed the tunnel shaft has a winding staircase from around three meters deep, continuing down for another seven meters until it reaches part of the tunnel network. The tunnel continues for five meters, before turning to the right and continuing for another 50 meters.
At the end of the tunnel, the footage reveals a blast door with what the IDF said was a gunhole for Hamas to shoot through.
"This type of door is used by the Hamas terror organization to block the ability of our forces to enter the organization’s headquarters and underground assets," the IDF said.
"The findings prove beyond all doubt that buildings in the hospital complex are used as infrastructure for the Hamas terror organization, for terror activity. This is further proof of the cynical use that the Hamas terror organization makes of the residents of the Gaza Strip as a human shield for its murderous terror activities," the IDF added.
The IDF and Shin Bet said they were continuing to operate at Shifa to expose Hamas’s tunnel network in the area.
Along with Shifa, Israel accuses Hamas of using other hospitals in the Strip for terror purposes, including Gaza City’s Rantisi, where a video published Sunday by Hamas showed three armed terror operatives running into after apparently spotting Israeli forces there.
Hamas described the trio as "martyrdom fighters," possibly indicating they had boom jackets.
The video showed two blasts, the first apparently following an RPG fired by Hamas at the hospital building, while the origin of the second was unclear.
The IDF has previously shown evidence of Hamas boom jackets found in the Gaza Strip.
Also Sunday, the Shin Bet and IDF’s Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504 — which specializes in HUMINT (human intelligence) — said they arrested more than 100 terror operatives in the Gaza Strip in recent days, including members of Hamas’s Nukhba forces who participated in the October 7 onslaught.
A joint Shin Bet and IDF statement said forces have been carrying out interrogations of suspects in Gaza, and have taken more than 100 operatives for questioning in Israel.
It said members of Hamas’s Nukhba forces, rocket array, sniper array, explosive experts and logistics officers were arrested, and in their interrogation, they provided information on the locations of the terror group’s tunnels and weapons caches.
The Shin Bet and IDF said the detainees also provided information on Hamas’s operating methods.
"The information from the interrogations of the terror operatives serves the forces operating on the ground and from the air in the Gaza Strip and is used to [provide them with] high-quality and up-to-date intelligence, which helps the continuation of the ground maneuver and fighting efforts," it said.
