"U.S. Intelligence Asserts Hamas Command Operations Based in Gaza's Shifa Hospital"
The US has reaffirmed its stance that Hamas used Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital as a command center, corroborating Israeli intelligence claims. Despite this, the US has not provided new evidence to support these assertions. The Washington Post's investigation had previously questioned the extent of the hospital's use by Hamas. Israel faced criticism for its November operation at the hospital, which it justified by claiming the hospital was a Hamas stronghold. Hamas admitted to using the hospital for holding hostages but denied it served as a command hub. The IDF released videos allegedly showing weapons and tunnels under the hospital, but conclusive proof of the hospital being a primary command center for Hamas operations remains unprovided by either the US or Israel.
