The United States is comfortable with its own assessment that Hamas is using Al Shifa Hospital, the Gaza Strip's primary medical facility, as a command and control center, the White House said on Wednesday.
Hamas on Wednesday flatly denied Israel's claims IDF forces found weapons in Al Shifa hospital in a raid of the institution.

"The occupation's claims of finding weapons and military equipment in Al Shifa Hospital are lies, falsehoods and cheap propaganda intended to justify its crimes, just as it did in Al Rantisi Hospital, where it planted weapons and ammunition as part of 'the show'."
Meanwhile, IDF forces continued to provide medical supplies to hospital staff to ensure civilians hospitalized at the medical center receive treatment.
