If Hamas had a command node in the hospital, the IDF better start releasing videos of underground tunnels and rooms(used for storage/command/communication/etc). Command node implies there should be at least multiple tunnels going in and out the hospital. So far, we have only seen a couple of kalasnikovs, which might be real or planted but in any case, kinda irrelevant, since 5 kalasnikovs and a dude with an rpg walking outside the hospital does not make a hospital a target.

To bolster its claims that Hamas has a control center under the hospital, Israel’s military released video showing a tunnel shaft in the grounds of Al-Shifa. In the footage, the shaft appears to be reinforced with concrete. Exposed pipes and cabling can also be seen close to the surface. CNN cannot independently verify what the tunnel is used for, and the IDF is yet to offer clear evidence that the shaft has a military purpose.

Surely it cant be hard to take some media into the hospital and show that tunnel, right? Also it is interesting how hamas didnt defend the hospital, at all. The hospital is huge and according to IDF is full of tunnels, that would make it a good place to ambush IDF. Especially since IDF would be less willing to bomb entire buildings, therefore it would be perfect for Hamas to fight there.
