The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have released footage of the interrogation of Anas Muhammad Faiz Al-Sharif, a 21-year-old Hamas terrorist who was apprehended at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. Al-Sharif, who joined Hamas in 2021 and worked as a cleaning supervisor at the hospital, revealed that the facility was used by Hamas as a command center and for the distribution of arms. He disclosed that weapons, including grenades and mortars, were moved in and out of the hospital for ambushes and attacks on Israeli forces. Al-Sharif also stated that Hamas operatives believed the hospital was a safe haven because the IDF would avoid directly targeting it due to the presence of civilians and patients. The operation at Kamal Adwan Hospital led to the arrest of over 240 terrorists, marking the largest number of terrorists apprehended in a single location since the conflict began.
