This information was disclosed by an IDF spokesperson on Sunday. Additionally, new details have emerged about the circumstances of the death of Cpl. Noa Marciano, showing she was murdered at the hospital. "The place which is supposed to sanctify life became a place of murder," IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said. "The terrorists used the hospital as a base of operation because they knew this was their human shield."

The footage shows Hamas terrorists forcefully leading captured individuals – a Nepalese citizen and a Thai citizen – who were abducted from Israeli territory. Military vehicles brought from Israel during the massacre can also be seen inside the Shifa Hospital premises using the area even though some of them did not need medical care.

The discovery of captives outside the room where they were abducted substantiates that the Hamas terrorist organization used Shifa Hospital on the day of the massacre itself as a terrorist hub.
The IDF said, "These findings add to the evidence we presented earlier, proving that the terrorist organization Hamas systematically and regularly utilizes the space of the hospital as a hub for its terrorist activities."
One of the hostages is injured and being transported on a hospital bed, while the other is walking. These captives are Thai and Nepalese citizens, and the information regarding the documentation has been conveyed to relevant authorities.
Regarding Lt. Col. Noa Marciano, Hagari disclosed that based on intelligence information that she was held in a hideout apartment in the Shifa Hospital area. The hideout was attacked, resulting in the death of the terrorist who held it, while Marciano was injured, though this was not a life-threatening injury. She was subsequently transported to the hospital, where she was murdered, contrary to Hamas' claims that she died as a result of IDF bombings. These findings have been corroborated by a forensic report.
