I'm not going to say you're wrong, this entire discussion is primarily hypothetical. But the US is not one to shy away from good publicity where possible.

I think it's entirely reasonable to say that if you announce that you are going inside of the Hospital to look for Hamas, then Hamas knows with 100% certainty what you likely found down there. At that point, why even be vague about it. It's a yes or no situation, either you found them or you didn't, and Hamas already knows if you found them or not. I don't really see any sort of potential security implications of say "Yes, we definitively found them."
