Israel revealed new evidence that Hamas, the terror organisation backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, is using hospitals, medical facilities, and children’s playgrounds as terror bases in the Gaza strip in clear breach of international law.
Israel Defence Forces (IDF) spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari provided video footage of Hamas gunmen emerging from a tunnel under Sheikh Hamad Hospital, as well firing at Israelis forces from within the building itself.
Hagari presented a video showing an underground entrance from Sheikh Hamad Hospital, which he said connects to a Hamas tunnel networks believed to run for hundreds of kilometers under the Gaza Strip, and has been built over many years.
He added that the IDF has intelligence of a tunnel network under the so-called Indonesian Hospital, as well as aerial imagery showing rocket launchers a few dozen meters from the complex.
“Hamas systematically built the Indonesian Hospital to disguise its underground terror infrastructure,” Hagari said.
The Israel Defence Forces also provided evidence that the Hamas terror group’s main base of operations is under Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, providing visuals and intercepted audio as evidence of the terror organisation’s activities.
The IDF spokesman also said Hamas has several underground complexes under the Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip, that are used by the terror group’s leaders to direct attacks against Israel.
