Israeli forces killed 21 terrorists after a squad embedded with civilians, fired rocket-propelled grenades and an anti-tank missile at them from the entrance to Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza City, the IDF said on Monday.

Soldiers identified the terror squad among the civilians carrying two RPG launchers and fired at them. During the exchange of fire, civilians left the hospital building and other terrorists who came out of buildings in the area joined the attempted attack.

The terrorists then went back to hiding in the hospital.

Forces from the 188th Armored Brigade combat team responded with live fire and shelling toward the source of the shooting, killing 21 terrorists. No casualties to Israeli forces were reported.

“This incident is another example of the continuous exploitation by Hamas of sensitive sites, including hospitals, to shoot at IDF forces,” the army said.
