Insufficient Evidence to Support Israel's Claims That Gaza Hospital Served as Hamas Command Center: Investigation

The Israeli raid on al-Shifa Hospital resulted in a 'death zone' and the death of 40 patients due to a lack of electricity, according to the World Health Organization and hospital administrators.

A Washington Post investigation found insufficient public evidence to support Israel's claims that al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, which was raided by Israeli forces, served as a Hamas command center.
The Israeli raid on the hospital resulted in a 'death zone' with a mass grave at the entrance and dozens of desperate patients inside, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Forty patients, including four premature babies, died in the hospital due to a lack of electricity in the days surrounding the raid, hospital administrators told the United Nations.
Israel had asserted that the hospital was used to direct rocket attacks and command fighters, and that Hamas tunnels could be accessed from five specific hospital buildings.
The Post's analysis based on satellite imagery, open-source visual information, and releases from the Israeli military found that available evidence didn't support these claims.
