Gaza Hospital Head Confesses to Being Hamas General
19th December 2023
The head of a hospital in Gaza confessed to being a Hamas general, according to video of an interrogation the Israel Defense Forces released Tuesday, in the latest evidence that the terror group uses medical facilities for military purposes.
In the video, Ahmad Kahalot, the chief of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, said he has been a member of Hamas since 2010 and reached the rank of “Amid,” which is equivalent to the rank of brigadier general. Kahalot also said that 16 doctors, nurses, and other staff in the hospital are members of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing. He added that Hamas would hide other “military and civilian officials inside the hospital.”
“Because for them, the hospital is a safe place,” he said when asked why the officials hid in the facility. “They won’t be targeted when they’re inside the hospital.”
