IDF: IDF Conducts Precise Operation Against Hamas Stronghold Embedded Inside the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya, While Preventing Harm to Civilians

Following intelligence information that indicated that terrorists had embedded themselves inside the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya, the IDF and ISA conducted a precise operation in the area to thwart terrorist activity and apprehend terrorists. Before beginning scans in the compound, the soldiers enabled civilians to leave the hospital.

In order to maintain essential hospital systems and ensure patient care, the Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration (CLA) coordinated with the hospital to activate an additional generator, ensuring electricity and oxygen supply for patients.

A number of people—including Hamas people who took part in the October 7th Massacre – had barricaded themselves inside the hospital. The soldiers apprehended approximately 100 people from the compound, including who attempted to escape during the evacuation of civilians. Inside the hospital, they found weapons, terror funds, and intelligence documents and in the surrounding area.

Throughout the war, Hamas have repeatedly operated from inside hospitals across the Gaza Strip, using them to hold hostages, execute attacks, and store weapons and explosives.

The IDF will continue to act in accordance with international law and act against the Hamas organisation while avoiding harm to civilians.
