Israel’s military has released security camera footage it said showed hostages being brought into Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on October 7 after being kidnapped during Hamas’s attacks on southern Israel, AFP reports.

The first clip, which appears to be time-stamped 10:53 am on October 7, shows a man in shorts and a pale blue shirt being dragged through what looks like an entrance hall by five men, at least three of whom are armed.

In the second, seemingly time-stamped 10:55 am, an injured man in underwear is wheeled in on a gurney by seven men, at least four of them armed, as several men in blue hospital scrubs look on. AFP says it was not immediately able to verify the footage.
