The representative of Israel underscored that hospitals are meant to be sanctuaries of care and compassion. Yet, Hamas has transformed them into tools for terror, exploiting their sanctity to shield its murderous aims and wage war against civilians.
“This is a deliberate and systematic strategy, a cornerstone of Hamas’ operational doctrine, their modus operandi,” he stated.
Kamal Adwan Hospital has become the latest site exploited by Hamas, which used it to protect its terrorists, store its weapons and launch its attacks. “This week’s precise operation by IDF [Israel Defense Forces] revealed the extent of Hamas’ abuse of the facility” — over 240 terrorists were apprehended, including 15 who participated in the 7 October massacres, he said, adding that — prior to its operations — Israel facilitated the evacuation of 350 patients and medical staff.
