The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have released closed-circuit television (CCTV) videos and still images that they say show Hamas fighters carrying hostages to Al-Shifa Hospital on October 7.
IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari presented two short videos, along with several still images, which he said show Hamas fighters carrying the hostages (a Nepali and a Thai) through the hospital, the most great of Gaza.
One of the CCTV videos shows a hostage being admitted to the hospital through the main entrance, Hagari said. The hostage is being forcibly taken through the building.
Hagari, at a news conference on Sunday, said the second CCTV video shows a second hostage, who has a bandaged hand and is clearly bleeding, being pushed on a stretcher down a hallway to a room.
Hagari did not explain how the IDF had acquired the videos, although he did say that Israeli intelligence officers were part of the operation inside the hospital to try to locate the hostages.
CNN cannot independently verify the content of the videos and still images.
Opposing narratives: The Hamas-led Gaza Health Ministry responded to the IDF briefing by questioning the authenticity of the videos and photographs, but went on to say that, if true, the images showed that the hospitals were providing medical care to anyone that I needed it.
The IDF spokesman dismissed suggestions that the hostages had been taken to the hospital because they were injured, stating that one of the two hostages was not injured and did not need medical treatment. They were first taken to the hospital and then moved to hiding places, such as nearby apartments, he said.
“If medical care had been provided in the hospital, if the hostages had remained there, then the Red Cross would have come and the people would have been freed. None of these things happened,” he stated.
In a statement issued on Saturday before the release of the CCTV videos, Hamas said it had taken several hostages to hospitals for medical treatment following they were injured in Israeli airstrikes.
Hagari said the latest videos had been shared with diplomats from the hostages’ countries of origin, adding that the IDF has not yet located the Nepali and Thai hostages in Gaza.
The Nepalese Embassy in Israel and Nepal’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs had confirmed to CNN before the release of the video that a Nepali national remained missing following the October 7 attack and was believed to have been taken hostage by Hamas.
Ten Nepalese citizens were killed and several others wounded when Hamas fighters attacked southern Israel on October 7, Nepal’s ambassador to Israel told CNN following the attack.
More context: Following the assault on Al-Shifa Hospital last Wednesday, the IDF is under tremendous pressure to prove its claim that Hamas uses Gaza’s largest medical center for combat and command purposes.
The military also released video on Sunday from inside an exposed tunnel in the Al-Shifa complex, showing an underground tunnel extending downward.

Resmetirom: A Promising Treatment for Fatty Liver Disease
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

Soon an effective treatment to reduce fatty liver? The promising results of a new molecule, resmetirom, have just been revealed at the European Congress of Hepato-Gastroenterology, from October 14 to 17 in Copenhagen (Denmark),
Increasingly common in France, fatty liver, or fatty liver disease, is now the main cause of liver disease in our country and seems on the verge of overtaking excessive alcohol consumption in Europe. This metabolic liver disease, which can lead to persistent inflammation progressing to cirrhosis or even liver cancer, is mainly due to an unhealthy lifestyle, including the consumption of “junk food” and a sedentary lifestyle.
Around 20% to 25% of adults suffer from it, particularly overweight people and diabetics. Over time, in 10% of cases, it evolves into an inflammatory form called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), characterized by fibrosis of liver tissue, that is to say excessive formation of scar tissue. This is the stage preceding cirrhosis.
Weight loss, the only current effective “treatment”
Currently, no specific drug treatment has been approved for this disease. The only advice that doctors can give is to lose at least 10% of your weight, to hope to reverse the disease and reduce the risk of cirrhosis. This involves a low-calorie diet, in particular by reducing carbohydrates, and regular physical activity to stimulate the metabolism.
If incretins (GLP-1 analogues), already used to treat type 2 diabetes, are serious candidates, research is finally coming to fruition, with the good results of an oral molecule, resmetirom, an “agonist selective for thyroid hormone β receptors. This molecule appears to promote fat metabolism in the liver and reduce the toxicity of lipids stored in liver cells.
Disappearance of liver fat in 30% of participants
During the European Hepato-Gastroenterology Congress, the results of the international MAESTRO-NASH clinical trial conducted in 200 experimental centers were eagerly awaited. After one year of treatment, liver fat had disappeared in 30% of participants (at a dose of 80 mg per day), and fibrosis had regressed in 26% of them. In addition, various biomarkers have been improved, including the reduction of liver enzymes.
Regarding tolerability, side effects such as diarrhea and nausea were mainly present at the start of treatment, without serious consequences.
Resmetirom therefore has real potential to reduce liver steatosis and its complications. The MAESTRO-NASH trial should shed light on the future place of this new drug in the treatment of “fatty liver”, once it has received approval from European health authorities.

Informal and very comfortable, she decided to combine the lingerie piece with high-waisted jogging pants in gray melange. In tune with the casual aesthetic of the bet, she accompanied the garments with a very natural beauty look: a washed face and loose hair with waves.
