WATCH: Hospital Director In Gaza Admits That He’s A Member Of Hamas

NOTE: This article may include commentary reflecting the author’s position.
Israel has been blasted in the media for targeting hospitals in their war that Hamas terrorists instigated on October 7.

It has been known for more than a decade that Hamas commits war crimes including using civilian facilities such as hospitals, schools, and mosques to hide weapons. Still, Israel has been condemned by international groups — many that lean left — of committing “war crimes” by targeting these facilities.

In a video confession released by Shin Bet, the Israeli Security Service, a hospital director admitted to being a member of Hamas and said that he knows around 16 other hospital employees that are members of the terrorist organization as well.

Ahmad Mohammed Hassan al-Khalout, (a.k.a. Abu Hassan), the Director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital located in the northern Gaza city of Jabalya, admitted under interrogation that he was a high-ranking member of Hamas — the equivalent of a brigadier general.

He explained in detail that the hospital was used as a base for the terror organization with some members using the health care facility as office space.

“Describe how Hamas uses your hospital to hide military activists,” asks the interrogator.

“Those who are hidden, officially, which were coordinated, that I know about. According to rank, there are the senior political officials. They are the seniors, the military and civilian officials,” begins Khalout. “They had rooms which they hid in. They stayed there 10 days, then they left the hospital.”

When asked why they hide in a hospital, Khalout replied, “Because for them, the hospital is a safe place. They won’t be targeted when they are inside a hospital.”

“There are offices where the Hamas leader and two of the senior officials were. There’s a place where the soldier was in (the kidnapped soldier),” he added.

Khalout told the interrogator that there were tens — perhaps close to a hundred Hamas terrorists in the hospital at one point.

He said that he joined Hamas’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades in 2010. He adds that he knows other “military activists” that work at the hospital.

“I know 16 employees in the hospital — doctor, nurse, paramedic, or clerks… Official positions but they also have different positions in al-Qassam,” Khalout told the interrogator.

When asked if the hospital had been turned into a military post, he replied, “Under the control of Hamas, yes.”

Khalout then explained how Hamas officials have offices within the hospital and they hide their activities with special ambulances.

“There’s a place for the interrogators, internal security, and special security. All of them have private telephone lines inside the hospital,” he later explained.

“They [Hamas] have a private ambulance, even its colour and the way it’s painted are different, and it doesn’t have a license plate. They used it to transport the soldier [kidnapped] and transport bodies,” he said. “It didn’t assist us with transporting the injured.”

“I begged him to take someone to the Indonesian Hospital, take to Shifa [hospital], but he would refuse,” he said and added, “His mission is more important.”

“The leaders of Hamas are cowards,” said Kahlout. “They left us in the field while they hid in secret places… They have destroyed us.”

[Kahlout] revealed that about 16 hospital staffers, including doctors, nurses, paramedics and clerks, were also members of Hamas’ notorious military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
According to the hospital chief, the medical facility under his care had been turned into an elaborate military hub where up to 100 Hamas terrorists had been holed up for days before moving to a different location…
…[Kahlout] also revealed that Hamas had once brought a kidnapped Israeli soldier to the hospital and used its own private ambulance service to transport the bodies of hostages tied to its Oct. 7 massacre. He did not name the soldier or say what happened to him later.

Kahlout’s confession comes after video was released of 70 alleged terrorists exiting Kamal Adwan Hospital — some dropping their weapons — and surrendering to Israeli Forces.

The Israeli Defense Force also released videos of soldiers showing weapons and munitions that were found hidden in the hospital including inside incubators in a newborn intensive care unit.

Insane!

Following interrogations of employees of the Kamel Adwan hospital, they confessed to turning the hospital including the maternity ward into a HamISIS military compound and hid weapons inside baby incubators.

Israel has been called out repeatedly for hitting hospitals in strikes during the war.

Hospitals, protected under international humanitarian law, have repeatedly been hit by Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war on October 7.
The military accuses Hamas of having tunnels under hospitals and using the medical facilities as command centres to plan and carry out attacks against the army and Israel, a charge denied by the Islamist group.
On Sunday world Health Organisaion chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the agency was ‘appalled by the effective destruction’ of another northern Gaza hospital, Kamal Adwan, where Israeli forces carried out a multi-day operation against Hamas.

It’s weird how Israel is condemned constantly by the international community and warned that they need to protect the innocent civilians, but Hamas is given a free pass for putting civilians in front of their terrorist leaders when we have a tremendous amount of evidence that they do that.

It kinda makes you wonder what could be motivating that kind of bias…
