The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday released photos of medical supplies that were to be delivered to Israeli hostages under a January agreement with Qatar but were found unopened during a raid on Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis.
As Breitbart News reported last week, the Israel Defense Forces will not interrupt patient care as Israel searches for Hamas terrorists, hostages, and weapons, after prior notification to hospital staff and specialized training to soldiers. I entered Nasser Hospital with caution.
This is Nasser Hospital. And these are the locations of Hamas military facilities in violation of international law.
Hamas does this because it knows this. @ICRC and @who They will turn a blind eye.

The IDF made dozens of arrests, including Hamas terrorists posing as medical staff inside the hospital.
The IDF said in a statement on Sunday:
So far, hundreds of terrorists and other terror suspects have been arrested who were hiding in hospitals, some posing as medical staff. Those arrested include terrorists who took part in the October 7 massacre, terrorists with ties to the hostages, and key Hamas operatives. The arrested terrorists and suspects were transferred for further investigation by security forces.
At the hospital, soldiers discovered a large quantity of weapons, some of which were found hidden in the vehicle used by Hamas terrorists to carry out the October 7 massacre. In addition, a possibly stolen Kibbutz Nir Oz vehicle was found around the hospital.
As part of IDF operations inside the hospital, a box of medicines with the names of Israeli hostages was discovered. The medical packages found were sealed and not given to the hostages.
There is already evidence that Hamas has broken the agreement, and the discovery of this drug provides concrete proof.

Israeli government spokesman Eilon Levy confirmed on Monday that hostages were being held at the hospital and that the bodies of the murdered hostages were also found there. “We have strong grounds to suspect that Hamas did not give the hostages a penny of medicine,” Levy said, given that two hostages rescued last week reported not receiving any medicines.
Levy also denied claims by Hamas and the World Health Organization that IDF raids had disrupted hospital operations, saying the IDF repaired the hospital’s broken generators and allowed operations to continue. He pointed out that he did.
“Under international law, terrorists are not exempt just because they are hiding in a hospital basement,” Levy said.
