**Network of Israeli Surveillance Devices Discovered Within Gaza Hospital**

A high-ranking security official within the resistance movement has disclosed the unearthing of an espionage device network embedded within a hospital in Gaza. These devices were allegedly planted by Israeli forces to surveil Palestinian activities to facilitate targeted military operations.

An official informed the Al-Haris Platform that the security team affiliated with the resistance responded to intelligence received from a local resident.

A clandestine security team conducted an inspection of the location. Preliminary investigations verified that the “block” had been altered to hide surveillance devices.

The apparatus was connected to other surveillance units throughout the hospital and was outfitted with concealed cameras camouflaged in various disguises.

A security official commended the individual who alerted authorities to the presence of the device.

An official stated that the vigilance demonstrated resulted in the preservation of lives, bolstered the defense of domestic territories, and heightened awareness regarding security issues.

He urged Palestinians to maintain heightened alertness and to promptly report any suspicious objects or activities they may encounter.

He stated that each contribution strengthens our resilience and disrupts the enemy’s strategies.
