Soldiers from the Israeli Defence Force have claimed to find weapons behind an MRI scanner in a Gaza hospital.
The video, released on the IDF account on X, formerly Twitter, showed Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus in the Al Shifa hospital.
Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus pointed out an “incriminating” laptop.
There were also internal security cameras which, according to Lt Conricus appear to have been taped over.

In the video, Lt Conricus said: "We're inside the MRI centre at the Al Shifa hospital. Isreali troops breached here a few hours ago.
"We have cleared the area and made sure it is safe.
"The things we have found confirm, without any doubt, that Hamas systematically uses hospitals in their military operation, in violation of international law.
"What we have found is only the tip of the iceberg. All of the security cameras are covered.

Upon entering an MRI room, the officer said: "I don't know when this was used last time but it is definitely an MRI machine.
"If you follow me behind the MRI machine, what our troops exposed a few moments ago. In military terms, this is a grab bag.
"You will be able to see military equipment, there is an AK47, there are cartridges and ammo, there are grenades and uniform.
"This was hidden very conveniently secretly behind the MRI machine.
"On the other side we found a backpack with what appears to be very important intelligence including a laptop.
"The backpack was hidden behind the MRI machine. The proper hospital equipment is also here."
It comes as the World Health Organisation said that 26 out of 36 medical facilities have closed since the war began because of damage or insufficient fuel.
The Hamas-run health ministry has denied the claims made by the IDF.
