Forces from the elite Maglan and naval commando unit continued to carry out searches Friday at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis – the focal point of recent fighting – and apprehended more than 20 terrorists who took part in the October 7 massacres in Israel, the military said. The soldiers also found mortars, grenades and other weaponry belonging to Hamas inside the medical facility.

In addition, dozens of suspects were taken for questioning.

The army also said that during operations at the hospital, troops found medications with the names of hostages on them. “The origin of the medication and their use is under investigation,” the Israel Defense Forces said.
