WATCH: Hamas Member Admits Terrorists And Lethal Weapons Are In Hospitals So Israel Won’t Attack

In the face of those who have criticized the Israeli military for targeting hospitals where Hamas terrorists hide, on Tuesday, Israel Defense Forces released a video in which a member of the terrorist group Hamas admitted that Hamas and Islamic Jihad use hospitals to hide their terrorists and weapons specifically so that the Israeli military won’t target them.

The Israel Defense Forces released a video of Anas Muhammad Faiz Al-Sharif, 21, a Hamas terrorist who had been hiding out at Kamal Adwan Hospital, being questioned. Using a civilian or another protected person as a shield for military operations is a direct violation of International Humanitarian Law and is considered a war crime. That is clearly stated in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

“I work at Kamal Adwan Hospital as a cleaning supervisor,” Al-Sharif stated. “I joined the Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas) in 2021 in the Nukhba forces in the Western Battalion.”

The “Nukhba forces” are an “elite unit within Hamas, which includes operatives chosen by senior Hamas leaders,” CNBC noted. “Five Hamas leaders secretly planned the bloody invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7, with 70 commandos from the terrorist group’s elite Nukhba Force leading the charge across the Gaza border, the London-based, pan-Arab Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper reported on Wednesday,” JNS reported in January 2024.

“Where were you arrested?” the interrogator asked.

“Inside Kamal Adwan Hospital,” he replied.

“When you were at Kamal Adwan Hospital, who else was there?” the interrogator continued.

“There were people there, the staff — the medical team I work with daily and directly. There were also operatives from Hamas and Islamic Jihad from the Al-Nasser Division and other organizations in Northern Gaza,” Al-Sharif admitted.

“Why were you hiding in Kamal Adwan Hospital?” the interrogator queried.

“They believe it is a safe haven for them because the military cannot directly target it,” Al-Sharif said.

“What do you mean when you say it is a ‘safe haven’?” the interrogator pressed.

“Because there are civilians and patients there,” Al-Sharif answered. “They think the military cannot bomb it, such as with a missile from an F-16 or by demolishing the building.”

“Now, when the operatives were in the hospital, what were they doing?” the interrogator wanted to know.

“The operatives were there transporting equipment and weapons like AK-47s … and pistols,” Al-Sharif revealed. “The weapons were transferred to and from the hospital from the outside in and from the inside out within the hospital. It was used for observation and patrols. They leave the hospital late at night; they arrive at the hospital in the morning. Inside the hospital, they distribute the grenades and mortars equipment for attacking tanks, for ambush positions and for tunnels underground to the command and control center, whether at Kamal Adwan, Faluja (Jabaliya Camp), or in new locations where the operatives are located.”
