This building has become a central focus of Israel’s war, described as a key command centre, even potentially the “beating heart” of Hamas operations.
Israeli forces are still searching for the tunnels beneath the hospital that they believe Hamas fighters may have withdrawn to, perhaps with some of the hostages.
The BBC was not shown what was on the laptops.
In the brightly lit corridors of the MRI unit, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus shows us three small stashes of Kalashnikovs, ammunition and bullet-proof vests - he says they have found around 15 guns in all, along with some grenades.
Lt Col Conricus also shows us some military booklets and pamphlets, and a map that he says is marked with potential entry and exit routes from the hospital.
The report of finding 15 guns is my idea of a small cache than a central military command centre.
And about those tunnels… is the IDF going to find them or are they going to dig them and say they were there?
Interview with someone at a Ukrainian hospital mentioned that one of the first things to do treating people who came from fighting was to remove all the grenades and ammo from their pockets, so that stuff would certainly be expected in any war zone hospital.

You’ll find more than that at a hospital in the US from the security guards. You probably won’t find grenades though.

That does make sense. Don’t want your patient accidentally exploding. That would be bad bedside manner.
