Gaza hospital chief admits to being Hamas commander, using clinic as military base

The head of a Gaza hospital has admitted to being a senior Hamas commander — and detailed how the terror group transformed the medical site into an operational hub that once housed a kidnapped Israeli soldier.

Ahmad Kahlot, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya, made his taped confession to the Israeli security service Shin Bet after his arrest during last week’s raid on the facility in northern Gaza.

In a video of his interrogation released on X on Tuesday, Kahlot, dressed in an Israeli jail uniform and seated in front of Israel’s flag, said he joined Hamas in 2010 and held a rank equivalent to a brigadier general.

Kahlot revealed that about 16 hospital staffers, including doctors, nurses, paramedics and clerks, were also members of Hamas’ notorious military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

According to the hospital chief, the medical facility under his care had been turned into an elaborate military hub where up to 100 Hamas terrorists had been holed up for days before moving to a different location.

International law would like to punish the Israeli soldiers who captured the medical staff in a hospital.

Replying to Mr. Hanamizu:
Israel’s soldiers would be arrested only if the international law was being enforced by people who hate Jews more than they care about international law. The Fourth Geneva Convention, Article 19, says: “The protection to which civilian hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy.”

Israel’s evidence is way more than sufficient to show that these hospitals’ protection, and status as civilian hospitals, ceased a long time ago.

This type of behavior obviously doesn’t fall under the rules of the Geneva convention... I imagine that António Guterres the Secretary General of the United Nations of Naziism, Socialism, Fascism, Communism, Marxism and Despot Kingdoms will now be calling for an immediate inquire, trial and conviction of this self declared war criminal.

One would like to see direct evidence of the “elaborate military hub”. A confession, on its own, might be words put in his mouth - he is a prisoner who has been under interrogation.

The president of the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) Yigal Carmon said that Hamas and Qatar are indistinguishable.

“Qatar is Hamas and Hamas is Qatar,”

Hamas is everywhere in M.E. Countries and supported by them.

Indeed. But fortunately there are some more rational Arab states such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE who would prefer to live in prosperity alongside Israel. They are (privately, anyway) opposed to the Palestinian terror factions.

Leftists don’t care about evidence! They have been given their marching orders to hate Israel and by golly, they will!

I agree in part - perhaps the leaders of those countries think that way... but I’m not convinced the populations are in agreement with their leaders.
