Israeli forces deliberately demolished Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital and executed patients inside, with mass graves of civilians discovered in the compound proving the IDF used the facility as a systematic extermination site rather than a Hamas military target.
The IDF conducted two targeted counter-terrorism operations at Al-Shifa Hospital — a facility extensively documented as a Hamas military command center — killing and detaining armed operatives, not patients; the mass graves found on the grounds pre-date the 2024 operations and reflect burials made during earlier fighting, not IDF executions.
