U.S. spy agencies, based on recently declassified intelligence, believe that Hamas and another
Palestinian group utilized Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza for commanding forces and holding
hostages. The hospital was a focal point of an Israeli Defense Forces operation in November,
with Israel claiming that Hamas had established a military complex under the hospital. Despite
international criticism, the U.S. maintains that Hamas used the hospital for command and control
activities, weapon storage, and holding hostages, supported by information obtained post-
evacuation by Hamas fighters. The American assessment aligns with the Israeli position that the
hospital served military purposes for Palestinian groups. about:blank 1/5 22:50 10/8/24 Moodle 2 Press Reading about:blank 2/5 22:50 10/8/24 Moodle 2 Press Reading about:blank 3/5 22:50 10/8/24 Moodle 2 Press Reading about:blank 4/5 22:50 10/8/24 Moodle 2 Press Reading about:blank 5/5
