The Israeli army said Wednesday troops had found military equipment including weapons in their raid on Gaza's biggest hospital, a claim swiftly denied by Hamas which rules the Palestinian territory.

In a pre-dawn raid, Israeli forces stormed the Al-Shifa hospital, with a journalist at the site telling AFP they carried out room-by-room searches after days of fighting on the outskirts of the facility with Hamas militants.
