A spokesman for Gaza's Civil Emergency Service said Israeli forces had executed two people whose bodies were found at the complex in handcuffs, and used bulldozers to dig up the grounds of the complex and exhume buried bodies. (Photo/Agencies)

The Israeli army launched its operation March 18, and has described it as a "precise" one targeting Hamas militants it accused of operating from the complex. It has previously said 200 militants had been killed in fighting in and around Al-Shifa. (Photo/Agencies)
