The director of a Gaza hospital admitted to Israeli interrogators that he had been recruited by Hamas to help turn the Strip’s medical centers into military facilities, the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) announced on Tuesday.
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.”
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.”
Palestinian doctors are not trustworthy because many of them are members of the Hamas terrorist organisation.
Ohh another command and control center, the beating heart of Hamas operation.
It’s not remotely surprising. Hamas run the entire Gaza Strip and have done for 17 years. Many of the doctors in these hospitals are also members of Hamas, including their militant wing, and are themselves responsible for terrorism. There’s no layer of civil infrastructure that has not been infected by Hamas’ poison.
The number of civilian deaths in Gaza is at maximum 60%, but likely significantly lower given Hamas tend to overcount and also methodologically don’t distinguish between civilians and Hamas terrorists, of which the IDF claim to have killed more than 8,000.
It’s not a genocide. Glad to clear that up for you.
Ah. Yeah, unfortunately the same is about to happen to the Gazans because of their choice to elect Hamas. There’s going to need to be a comprehensive process of Denazification there, as well as a Marshall Plan to rebuild the strip.
I don’t like Netanyahu’s extremist policies either.
Referring to “Zionists” as ‘Nazis’ is nevertheless antisemitic. Zionism is simply the belief in the right of self-determination of the Jewish people to a state of Israel in their historic homeland. It was created through international law by partition, just as many others were, but is unique in having its right to exist questioned.
If you don’t like the people in charge, that’s fine. That’s not anti-Zionist. Claiming that Israel has no right to exist, that it should be destroyed and the Jews either dispersed or killed (by one means or another; this is also the inevitable outcome of a one-state ‘solution’), is antisemitic.
I really don’t like the desktop web Lemmy UI, it’s really ugly in my opinion. Is there an app or something I can use for lemmy.world that’ll make it just a little more… idk, prettified?
I don’t think Dead Cells is the right comparison. The only real similarity is they’re 2D metroidvanias. But Dead Cells is a procedurally generated roguelike, PoP isn’t. It’s closer to Metroid Dread. All the previews I’ve seen say the combat is actually very in-depth with numerous combos, powerups and weapons, and sometimes comes closer to a character action game!
Yeah it may depend what you’re after. I always use it for illustrations/paintings, sometimes anime but other times for artwork, concept art, landscapes in different painted styles and it works really well for that
