Surveillance footage shows Hamas bringing hostages into Shifa Hospital on Oct. 7

The Israel Defense Forces releases surveillance camera footage from Shifa Hospital showing Hamas terrorists bringing a Nepali and Thai citizen who were abducted from Israel on October 7 to the medical center.
Again people lose sight of the fact that regardless of hamas actions, that doesn't justify the killing of thousands of kids and families that are taking shelter in the hospital.
If anything, the medical staff and families are also hostages and they shouldn't be killed either.
People kept arguing about the tunnel and the hospital ignoring the genocidal killing of Palestinians.
Tunnels or Hamas using the biggest and maybe only hospital Doesn't justify the bombing of the hospital while people still getting treated from other bombing..
So a whopping 2 hostages on the day of the attack, of which one was critically injured, which was more than a month ago.
Definitely Hamas HQ confirmed. Was worth all that civilian collateral to capture.
At least they finally got some footage so we don't have to rely on some crappy IDF PS1 graphics renders.

One of the hostages is visibly wounded in his arm and is brought on a hospital bed, while the second is forcefully dragged into the hospital. “These findings prove that the Hamas terror organization used Shifa Hospital on the day of the massacre itself as terror infrastructure,” the IDF says.
TIL bringing a wounded civilian in for treatment makes the treating hospital "terror infrastructure".
If they're releasing surveillance footage, expect more to come out. They have already announced that Noa Marciano was executed inside the hospital - most likely on camera.
Also note that they are sharing much more with the US and EU than they are making public. It will likely include surveillance footage tagged with facial recognition of every senior Hamas member who walked through the hospital.
Is this according to the same Israel that called a water reservoir an "opening into the Hamas tunnels?"
The same one that released a faked video of a "nurse from al-Shifa?"
Even if it's true, I can't believe anything Israel says at this point.
If there is a Hamas bunker under a hospital it was built with the full knowledge and support of netenyahu.
If you're a fellow American, please stop weighing in on this whole thing. We shouldn't be propping up Israel to begin with. We shouldn't be involved in this at all.
Our support of Israel was certainly factored into Hamas's decision to escalate things. And the blowback we'll get from unconditionally supporting Israel is completely, COMPLETELY predictable.
Covid gave us an opportunity to turn the page on the war on terror, and now our unwavering support for one side of this conflict is going to prompt some yahoo to commit something stupid, and start the war on terror up all over again.
There is no upside in supporting one side over the other in this one - we need to sit it out. Stop sending billions to Israel every year and providing a pretext for some sort of revenge attack on us. Saudi doesn't care what we think anymore, OPEC is going to do whatever it wants.
The US foreign affairs community seems to be of the opinion that our involvement in Israel and its recognition by KSA or any other big player in the region is going to secure the status of the petrodollar. But de-dollarization is going to happen anyway, thanks to BRICS.
So we'll continue to sell arms to Saudi Arabia while they continue to not supply us with enough oil to keep prices low, and we'll continue to prop up Israel while they continue to piss off the entire region.
And everyone is just... okay with this?
