Hamas attacks Israel

Wonder to what extent they tried to tell anyone outside the hospital?
As @jon-nyc points out, with a knife to the throat, probably not at all.
However, it's been known for at least 10 years that Hamas had a huge, illegal, presence there. Even CNN (iirc) reported it back in 2014.

I don't mean when they're in the hospital, I mean when they're outside the hospital.

Who would ever decide that’s worth the risk? What’s the upside?
Israel already figured some hostages were there. Very little intelligence value in a confirmation. At best it would have given Israel a few fleeting points in the daily twitter cycle skirmish.
Who’s risking their life for that?

Kind of surprised there’s a woman in that group.
Well, I’m assuming the person in the bag is a woman.

If I was the U.S., I would very quietly and very discreetly turn over every scrap of intel on Hamas leadership to the Mossad. Especially all the electronic and satellite stuff.

Yeah. What do you think the odds are that the Hamas leadership in Qatar and other countries feels safe? Israel has already told them, "We're coming for you."

No kidding. In a normal war situation a temporary cease fire would also include a withdrawal of belligerent forces to mutually agreed upon lines until the hour of expiration. The hope is to mitigate the chances that the cease will be broken.
No such lines exist or can exist in this conflict. The IDF and Hamas both occupy the same scattered rubble piles. This is a cease fire resting on a hair trigger that once breached cannot be recovered.
