Surveillance footage from an Israeli raid on the Sina hospital in the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank is spreading around the world.

The clips show how Israeli military forces disguised as civilians move in the corridors with weapons drawn, reports the BBC. Two of them are dressed as healthcare workers and several of the men wear veils. You can also see how, among other things, a wheelchair and a baby carrier are used as props. According to the BBC, the disguised men must have been part of a secret military unit.

At least one member of Hamas

The Israeli military says in a statement that it killed three Palestinian militiamen who allegedly used the hospital as a hideout. According to the AP news agency, the terrorist group Hamas and Islamic Jihad have confirmed that the men were members of them.

According to Israel, it is one of the men who must have belonged to Hamas. According to the Israeli military, the man must have planned a terrorist attack.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health accuses Israel of carrying out “a new massacre in a hospital”. The authority calls on the outside world to stop Israel from carrying out attacks on hospitals.

Increased tensions

Since Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, tensions have risen in the West Bank, with almost daily arrests of Palestinians. In Jenin, several raids have been carried out. In total, Israel has killed 357 Palestinians since October 7, according to the UN.

At the same time, Palestinians in the West Bank have killed at least ten Israelis during the same period.
