Joint IDF and ISA effort reveals that Hamas exploits hospitals, ambulances, clinics, mosques and schools for terrorist purposes.
Hamas also uses ambulances to transfer weapons and terrorist operatives in the Gaza Strip. This is another example of how the Hamas terrorist organization exploits civilian infrastructure and uses civilians as human shields.
Quotes from the ISA investigations of Hamas “Nukhba” terrorists: “Al-Qassam have their own ambulances, some of which are located on the military base. The appearance of the ambulances is similar to the civilian ambulances so that they will not arouse suspicion or be bombed by Israel. During combat, the ambulances are used, among other things, to evacuate fighters – commanders and operatives. They also transport food, cargo and weapons in them because that is the safest way to transport them. Most senior Hamas political and military officials are hiding in the hospitals, especially the Shifa Hospital. They take advantage of the hospitals so that they will not be bombed. Hamas stores weapons and ammunition under schools. Many places in the Gaza Strip are rigged, the cables leading to the operating system are in civilian mosques and clinics.”
