Israeli army says footage shows foreign hostages in Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital

Israel’s military has released video footage that it says shows two hostages being taken into Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital on 7 October.

R Adm Daniel Hagari, a spokesperson for the military, said on Sunday night this was 'concrete evidence' that hostages were taken into the hospital, the largest medical complex in Gaza City, from where it says Hamas runs military operations from bunkers and tunnels below ground. Hamas and hospital staff deny the hospital, which has been surrounded by Israeli forces for more than a week, was used as a command centre. Israeli raids on the hospital have provoked international condemnation.
