The Israeli army withdraws from Al Shifa hospital in Gaza after a two-week raid. IDF: eliminated 200 armed Palestinian militiamen who had barricaded themselves inside and arrested another 513. The structure suffered major damage

L’esercito israeliano si è ritirato dall’ospedale Al Shifa di Gaza dopo un raid iniziato il 18 marzo e durato due settimane.

L’IDF dice che l’operazione è stata un successo e di aver eliminato circa 200 miliziani palestinesi armati, fra cui alcuni di alto livello, e di aver fatto 513 arresti, [nominando gli ufficiali specifici](https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-shin-bet-say-several-senior-hamas-terrorists-killed-as-shifa-op-continues/):

“Among them was senior Hamas commander Raad Thabet — named by the IDF on Thursday as the head of the terror group’s recruitment and supply acquisition — and Mahmoud Khalil Zakzuk, who the IDF says is the deputy commander of Hamas’s rocket unit in Gaza City.

In another incident, troops of the Nahal Brigade’s reconnaissance unit killed senior Hamas operatives Fadi Dweik and Zakaria Najib during a chase at Shifa’s maternity ward, according to the IDF.”

L’IDF [dice anche](https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-ends-shifa-hospital-raid-after-arresting-or-killing-hundreds-of-terror-operatives/) di avere trovato diverse armi all’interno e di avere evacuato 350 fra pazienti e staff medico.

Le strutture dell’ospedale hanno subito grossi danni durante i combattimenti (l’articolo del Washington Post ha delle foto di ieri e oggi).
