GoPro footage recorded by Shayetet 13 troops conducting combat operations near the Al-Shifa Hospital shows a direct close quarters battle engagement with Hamas fighters who were using the building as an ambush point against Israeli ground forces. The footage was released through official Israeli Defense Force channels, and has blurred out several of the Hamas fighters that were killed in the engagement.

This footage appears to be linked to earlier drone and dashcam footage published today by Cole here on Funker530. In the previous article, Cole stated that he believes Hamas purposely instigates conflict near critical infrastructure and population centers like this. I am of the same mindset, believing that Hamas purposely utilizes these areas to raise conflict so that they can catch propaganda wins when the IDF inevitably is forced to retaliate with lethal force in these areas.
