The Shifa Hospital in Gaza has been emblematic of how embedded Hamas is in the everyday life of the enclave.
Last November, the Israel Defense Forces took control of the hospital in the northern part of the strip after it became clear Hamas was using it to shield itself from reciprocal attacks, a common tactic of the extremists. Israeli forces discovered underground infrastructure beneath the hospital previously used by Hamas.
As Israeli forces moved south for those operations, they left the hospital and other areas in the north, which allowed Hamas militants who slipped through the Israelis’ grip during their previous operations to attempt a reconstitution. The ability of hundreds of militants to remain in the north months after Israel completed its operations there represents one of the enormous challenges that comes along with urban warfare and the tactics often employed by terror groups. Israel’s willingness to go back to the north for these operations also indicates its willingness to keep fighting to achieve its war efforts to ensure Hamas cannot carry out a subsequent attack like the one perpetrated on Oct. 7, 2023.
