Gaza hospital 'safe place' for Hamas terrorists, hospital chief admits

The head of a Gaza hospital has admitted to Israeli forces that the terror organization used his hospital to advance its military operations since the hospital is a "safe place."

Ahmad Kahlot, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, admitted in a bombshell interrogation with Israeli forces that Hamas used his hospital to hide high-ranking military activists.

"Because for them the hospital is a safe place," Kahlot said when asked why they hide in the hospital. "They won't be targeted when they are in the hospital."

Kahlot, who joined Hamas in 2010 and holds a rank equivalent to a brigadier general, explained that he knew 16 hospital staffers, including doctors, nurses, paramedics and clerks, were also members of Hamas’ military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

"I know 16 people. The positions are doctor or nurse or paramedic or clerk," Kahlot said, wearing an Israeli jail uniform.

Kahlot explained that the medical facility turned military hub was also used to house up to 100 high-ranking terrorists.
