For 15 years, Hamas has deeply embedded itself into civilian areas such as schools, mosques, and hospitals. Using innocent Palestinians as shields, Hamas terrorists operate freely within these protected spaces.
Weapons, equipment, and command centers have all been found deep within or underneath hospitals. Hamas uses these sites as a base to carry out attacks on IDF troops or to return and heal wounded Hamas terrorists.
After interrogation, many doctors and employees have also been found to be terrorists or support terrorism. Despite all of that, the IDF still works hand in hand with Gazan hospitals to ensure facilities can still operate and save thousands of lives.
