Bombshell Allegation: Hamas using Hospital as War Base
What the hell is going on with Hamas setting up shop in a kids' hospital?!
Army spokesman Daniel Hagari presented videos and pictures indicating that radical Islamic group Hamas stored weapons in the basement of the Rantisi Children's Hospital and possibly held hostages as well.
Axes grinding in the basement:
"We have found a command center in the hospital's basement equipped with an arsenal of weapons. Grenades and other explosives had been stored by Hamas fighters," stated Hagari.
Strong indication of hostages: Hagari further revealed signs suggesting that Hamas was holding hostages in the hospital.
"We have also found a small kitchen, guard roster, a baby bottle, and a rope attached to a chair. Nearby, there's a tunnel shaft leading to a Hamas naval commander's house," he explained.
"Hamas infrastructure" and weapons unearthed:
Hagari announced in the video that the Israeli military had discovered "Hamas infrastructure" and weapons in the hospital's cellar. These included "explosive belts, AK47 assault rifles, explosive devices, rocket launchers, and other weapons."
Waffling Hamas Terrorists:
"We also found evidence that Hamas terrorists returned to this hospital from the October 7 massacre," Hagari explained, showing a "bullet-riddled" motorcycle allegedly used by Hamas terrorists during the incident.
Terrorists on the loose:
On October 7, around 700 terrorist militants from Hamas, classified as a terrorist organization by the USA and EU, infiltrated Israel from the Gaza Strip. Indiscriminately murdering people and committing atrocities against civilians, 1,200 were believed to have been killed in Israel, and around 240 hostages taken in the Gaza Strip.
- "Fundraising" or War Efforts?: Israeli troops discovered evidence of fundraising activities in addition to the weapons storage and hostage operations.
- Prominent Human Rights Organization Requesting Investigation: Following the war, Desk Delta, an international human rights organization, demanded an independent investigation into Hamas' actions.
- Doctors and Nurses' Herculean Effort: The hospital's injured patients were transferred to safer hospitals, as the doctors and nurses continued to provide care, working tirelessly to ensure the patients' well-being during the volatile political climate.
