The Israeli military conducted strikes against Hamas operatives and infrastructure located within Nasser Hospital in the Gaza Strip. The hospital, which operates during daytime hours, was reportedly used by Hamas as an active command center at night, with the third floor converted into a headquarters inaccessible to medical staff and patients.
According to a military source, Hamas is currently under significant pressure from ongoing Israeli assassinations and intelligence operations. The organization is described as being penetrated by intelligence, allowing the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to locate and eliminate its members at a high rate. Recent strikes have targeted Hamas commanders, including those involved in the October 7th massacre and unit leaders.
The pressure on Hamas is manifesting in various ways, including attempts to identify collaborators with Israel and efforts to embed within civilian populations, hospitals, humanitarian aid sites, and schools. This tactic, while used throughout the war, has reportedly intensified due to Hamas's current situation.
Israeli security forces reportedly held discussions with hospital administrators in an effort to distance terrorist activities from the facility. The article suggests that Hamas, fighting for its survival and cornered, may resort to violent actions. Maintaining the current pace of pressure through targeted assassinations is deemed crucial by the IDF and Shin Bet to keep Hamas focused on defensive actions and evading Israeli strikes, rather than planning further attacks or consolidating its control in Gaza.
