Hamas Terrorists' Last Stand at Gaza Hospital
(Telegraph-UK) Paul Nuki - Israeli planes, tanks and infantry cornered the last remains of a 1,000-strong battalion of Hamas forces holed up in the Indonesian Hospital and a nearby school in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza on Tuesday. Lt.-Col. Ido, commanding officer of the 551 Reserve Paratroop Battalion, said the Indonesian Hospital is empty, something Israeli forces have verified with drones and other "tactical measures," adding: "They are firing on us from this hospital." Lt.-Col. Ido said booby-trapped houses, tunnels and alleyways were the biggest threat when soldiers first entered the area. Air strikes took out most of the IEDs, but he and his men have cleared more than 150 themselves. "They are buried in the ground, some in the woods, some in the kindergarten rooms, some in the schools," he said, adding that some of the charges were designed to pierce armor with technology imported from Iran. On Tuesday, the IDF released footage of an air strike on a building close to Al Quds hospital. The strike set off a major secondary explosion, which the IDF said indicated that a Hamas weapons store had been hit.
