In a video released by the Shin Bet, Ahmed Kahlot, director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, said, “I was recruited to Hamas in 2010 at the rank of lieutenant colonel. There are employees in the hospital who are military operatives of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam [Hamas’s “military branch”]—doctors, brothers, paramedics, clerks, staff members.”
Kahlot added, “They hide in hospitals because they believe that a hospital is a safe place. They will not be harmed if they are inside a hospital.”
Hamas in their own words:

Israel security forces arrested Kahlot on Dec. 12.
During the interrogation, Kahlot describes how Hamas used hospitals and ambulances to hide operatives, launch military activity, transport members of terror squads and even deliver a kidnapped Israeli soldier.
“Hamas has offices inside the hospitals. There are places for senior officials, they also brought a kidnapped soldier there. There is a designated place for investigations, internal security and special security. They all have private phone lines inside the hospital,” he said.
Regarding the kidnapped soldier, Kahlot explained that “Hamas uses private ambulances. It has a different color, and no license plate. It was used to bring the kidnapped soldier and to transfer bodies. It comes and goes and does not take down the wounded.”
Kahlot told the interrogator: “Once I begged them to take a wounded man to the Indonesian hospital, for healing, for treatment. They refused. Their mission is more important.”
Hamas’s leaders, he continued, “are cowards. They left us in the field while they hide…. They destroyed us.”
On Nov. 23, Israeli security forces arrested Muhammad Abu Salmiya, director of the Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largest medical facility.
As far back as 2009, the Shin Bet reported during the war of that year that Hamas operatives were hiding in the hospital, and that the basement had become its headquarters.
In addition to being used to hide Hamas leaders and hostages, the terror group is known to have launched rockets, tortured suspected collaborators and hoarded a half-million liters of fuel in the hospital compound.
Other Gazans interrogated by Israel have confirmed that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have also embedded themselves in other hospitals and in the Strip’s Palestinian Red Crescent headquarters.
At least 1,200 people were killed in Hamas’s Oct. 7 assault on southern Israel. The number of men, women, children, soldiers and foreigners held captive in Gaza by Hamas is now believed to be 129. Other people remain unaccounted for as Israeli authorities continue to identify bodies and search for human remains.
This, once again, puts the lie to the media mantra of “innocent civilians”. There are no innocent Palestinian civilians, even amongst the so-called “humanitarian” healthcare workers,
The Hamas savages were voted in by close to 90% of these “innocent civilians “. These “innocent civilians , and their enablers around the globe continue to support these butchers . Resume the carpet bombing!
(Here comes the YEE HAW!)
It’s so frustrating and upsetting that this story is on vin where all the heimish yidden can get the information. This needs to be on every news station and all over every media source. Check out all the non Jewish vins. They finished crying about what Israel did to the hospitals and now they’re crying about the destroyed hospitals in khan Younis. They don’t stop and think for a minute why a tiny place needs so many hospitals, especially when for years their sickest patients have been getting care and treatment inside Israel. This interview needs to be screamed to the world, not read by Israel’s supporters on vin.
Why would the Jew hating media spoil their good story with facts.
