"It is now clear that the World Health Organization has at the very least turned a blind eye to the use of medical facilities for terrorist purposes," said Israel's Health Ministry.
During the interview, a British doctor formerly associated with Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza discloses that the hospital was allegedly employed for Hamas' terrorist activities.
The military is currently focusing on fighting Hamas in the northern Gaza Strip but it is expected to also act against terrorist operatives in the southern part of the coastal enclave.
“We have information that confirms that Hamas is using that particular hospital for a command and control mode” and probably to store weapons, national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters aboard Air Force One.
The troops conducting the "precision" operation include medical teams and Arabic-speaking soldiers who have undergone specialized training, according to the IDF.
