An Israeli army official has said footage relating to hostages seized by Hamas was found on computers at the Al-Shifa hospital during an ongoing special forces raid, AFP reports.

“Soldiers are proceeding one building at a time, searching each floor, all while hundreds of patients and medical staff remain in the complex,” the Israeli army official said.

Intelligence materials including equipment “belonging to Hamas” had been found, they said.

“During the searches, information and footage pertaining to the hostages abducted from Israel were found on computers and other technological equipment.”

The official said the items belonging to Hamas had been taken for “further examination and investigation”.
