The video, taken between 10:42 a.m. and 11:01 a.m., features Hamas terrorists rushing a Nepalese and a Thai civilian into the hospital, with one of the hostages seen bleeding while lying back on a stretcher, according to Israeli Defense Forces.
The terrorists could be seen passing the injured hostage to a group of doctors who then take him into a separate room.
“These findings prove that the Hamas terrorist organization used the Shifa Hospital complex on the day of the Oct. 7 Massacre as terrorist infrastructure,” the IDF said in a statement Sunday.
“We have not yet located both of these hostages and rescued them,” added IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari. “We do not know where they are.”
Along with the hospital footage, the IDF also released a video touring a shaft allegedly taken at the al Shifa Hospital complex leading to Hamas’ 300-mile-long underground tunnel system.
The video, filmed on Friday, tours a 10-meter deep, 55-meter-long tunnel located underneath Gaza City’s largest hospital.
“The tunnel entrance contains various defense mechanisms, such as a blast-proof door and a firing hole, in an attempt by Hamas to block Israeli forces from entering,” the IDF said in a statement.
The tunnel shaft was located near a shed containing RPGs, explosives and Kalashnikov rifles, the IDF added.
The two new videos stand as the latest evidence released by Israel regarding Hamas’ use of the al-Shifa hospital, which has been caught in the middle of the war through repeated airstrikes and raids.
Despite humanitarian groups condemning the fighting in and around the hospital — which houses hundreds of patients, staffers and refugees — Israel has defended its assault on the medical complex, accusing Hamas of hiding behind civilians.
While US intelligence supports Israel’s claims, Hamas and hospital officials have repeatedly claimed that the terrorists are not based in al-Shifa, where the Jewish state says a command post lies underneath.
Since the fighting broke out around al-Shifa last week, the Palestinian Red Crescent service announced on Sunday it had evacuated 31 babies that required neonatal care from the hospital, according to the World Health Organization.
“The newborns’ condition was rapidly deteriorating, and follows the tragic death of several other babies, and total collapse of all medical services at Al-Shifa,” UNICEF said in a statement about the evacuations Sunday.
The WHO estimated that there were still around 259 patients at the hospital who are unable to move.
