Israel says it has caught more than 200 Hamas and other terrorist suspects in its controversial operation at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Northern Gaza.

The IDF has denied widely reported claims by Hamas that it set fire to the facility, which it had ordered to be evacuated.

In a statement posted on X on Saturday evening, it said that 240-plus “Hamas, Islamic Jihad terrorists and other suspected activities were apprehended, some of whom attempted to pose as patients or free using ambulances”.

The IDF said that 15 terrorists who had infiltrated the country on the October 7 massacre had been taken into questioning along with Hamas engineering and anti-tank missile operatives.
