The director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan hospital in Jabaliya has revealed in a Shin Bet interrogation that his northern Gaza hospital was turned into a military facility under Hamas’s control and that at one point, it had housed a kidnapped soldier.

In footage published on Tuesday by the Shin Bet and Israel Defense Forces, hospital director Ahmed Kahlot could be seen telling an Israeli interrogator that Hamas had offices inside the hospital and used it as a base for operational activity.

According to Kahlot, who said he has been a lieutenant colonel in Hamas since 2010, some 16 members of the hospital’s staff — including doctors, nurses and paramedics — were Hamas operatives serving in the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the terror organization.

He added that several members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s Al-Quds Brigades were also employed in the hospital.

On December 12, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said that Israeli forces had entered the Kamal Adwan hospital, which the IDF later confirmed. Over the course of several days, troops detained some 90 operatives inside the hospital and seized numerous weapons.

According to a joint Shin Bet and IDF statement on the operation, some of those captured at the hospital had participated in the October 7 massacres in southern Israel, in which some 1,200 people were killed and around 240 were taken hostage.

Asked about Hamas operations inside the hospital complex, Kahlot revealed that one Hamas leader and two senior officials had offices inside the hospital.

“There are places for senior officials. They also brought a kidnapped soldier there,” he said. “There is a designated space for interrogations, internal security and special security. They all have private phone lines within the hospital.”

No further information about the kidnapped soldier’s identity or when he was brought to the hospital was provided.

“They hide in hospitals because they believe that hospitals are a safe place,” Kahlot told the Shin Bet interrogator. “They will not be harmed if they are inside a hospital.”

In addition to operating out of the hospital, Hamas operates its own private ambulances, which are a different color from those used by medics.

According to Kahlot, the ambulances used by Hamas aren’t ever volunteered for medical uses.

“Once I begged them to take a wounded man to the Indonesian Hospital or Shifa Hospital for treatment. They refused,” he said. “Their mission was more important.”

Asked what he thinks about Hamas now, after two and a half months of war, Kahlot didn’t spare his criticism.

“The leaders of Hamas are cowards,” he said. “They left us in the field while they’re hiding in concealed places. They destroyed us. (TOI)

The last paragraph say it all. Cowards indeed.

Una no gree embrace education.Una say western education is haram while the terrorists chiefs have their children enrolled in Western education.

People will still come here and say Israel is commiting genocide.
How then will the IDF be able to differentiate between a civilian and a hamas operative.
In this war,anyone who houses hamas will be killed.
These are the people been killed that they are calling civilians
