- Over 240 militants were arrested near the hospital during IDF operations in December 2024.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has released footage and details concerning Hamas activity at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabalia, Gaza. According to the IDF, the hospital serves as a central hub for Hamas operations while simultaneously providing medical care. This revelation follows previous findings of Hamas utilizing medical facilities for military purposes.
During operations in December 2024, IDF forces apprehended over 240 militants and suspected terrorists in the vicinity of the hospital. Military equipment and numerous weapons were also discovered. Interrogations of captured Hamas operatives reportedly revealed details about the organization's conduct within the hospital grounds.
The IDF stated that both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have exploited the Kamal Adwan Hospital and its surroundings for years to advance terror plots against Israeli civilians and soldiers. This occurred despite repeated calls from Israel for militant groups to refrain from using medical facilities for military purposes.
This situation at Kamal Adwan Hospital is presented as similar to the IDF's earlier exposure of Hamas's extensive operations at Gaza's main hospital, Shifa, which allegedly served as a command center and held hostages. The IDF also referenced its operations in Khan Younis, where it claims Hamas leaders directed the October 7th attack from a command tunnel beneath a hospital, leading to the elimination of Hamas commanders.
