WASHINGTON, D.C. – Israeli military officials detained around 200 suspected Hamas terrorists at Nasser Hospital in Gaza. Inside the hospital, Israeli officials found “sealed boxes of medication with the names of Israeli hostages on them, as well as several weapons belonging to Hamas operatives,” according to the Times of Israel. Israeli officials have delivered a generator, food, water, medical supplies, and fuel tanks to the hospital.
Prior to the military operation, overwhelming evidence emerged that Hamas operated from the Nasser hospital. Hamas has a long history of using hospitals for terrorist activities.

KEY EXCERPTS
- Amid the operation at the medical center in Khan Younis, the IDF found sealed boxes of medication with the names of Israeli hostages on them, as well as several weapons belonging to Hamas operatives.
- Of the 200 suspects who were detained, many were members of terror groups, had been involved in the October 7 onslaught, and had links to the hostages held by Hamas, according to the IDF. Israeli hostages were previously held at the site, according to testimonies from released captives and interrogated terror suspects.
- Troops delivered a replacement generator after the hospital’s generator stopped functioning during the operation, though the IDF says “all the vital systems of the hospital continued to operate on an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) throughout the operational activity.”
- The IDF also says it “coordinated the entry of professional officials to examine the electricity problem in the hospital” and enabled a fuel tank to be delivered to the premises to keep the generator running. Food, water, medical supplies, and infant formula were also delivered to Nasser Hospital with IDF coordination, it says.
