Hamas Exploits Gaza Hospitals as Human Shields, IDF Reveals
TL;DR
Hamas operatives captured by Israel have admitted during interrogation that the terrorist group uses hospitals and innocent civilians as human shields when launching attacks against Israeli forces. The captured terrorists revealed that they hid weapons under mattresses and posed as doctors and nurses to evade capture. They operated from hospitals because they were secure and unsuspected, using them as bases of operation before launching missions outside. The admissions support Israel's long-held assertion that Hamas uses hospitals to hide their activities and carry out operations.
