Israeli forces in Gaza have claimed they have killed more than 170 “gunmen” during their days-long raid at the Palestinian enclave’s main hospital, the military said on Saturday.
Israeli troops entered Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City in the early hours of Monday morning and have been combing through the sprawling complex, which the military says is connected to a tunnel network used as a base for Palestinian fighters.
“Thus far, the forces eliminated more than 170 terrorists in the area of the hospital, questioned over 800 suspects, and located numerous weapons and terror infrastructure,” the military said.
