"Hamas' Secret Command Center Discovered under Gaza Hospital, IDF Reveals"

A US official with knowledge of American intelligence claims that Hamas has a command node under Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital, using fuel intended for the hospital and clustering fighters in and around it. This follows comments by a top White House official acknowledging that Hamas uses hospitals and civilian facilities for command-and-control and storing weapons. Israel has faced criticism for military action around the hospital, but insists on its justification and has created evacuation corridors. Hamas and hospital officials deny the accusation, while reports suggest dire conditions and deaths of patients. Israel maintains that patients can be evacuated and refuses to grant immunity to terrorists. The World Health Organization states that Al-Shifa hospital is no longer functioning as a hospital due to a lack of power.

Hamas Exploits Civilian Evacuees to Smuggle Injured Fighters, Reveals US Official

Hamas has been attempting to smuggle injured militants out of the Gaza Strip by placing them on evacuation lists alongside injured Palestinian civilians, according to a senior US official. This revelation has complicated evacuation efforts following the recent terrorist attack on Israel, with delays reported for individuals with foreign passports or dual citizenship. Israeli forces allowed Palestinians access to a key highway for evacuation, but refugees are being directed to evacuate away from areas of armed conflict. Hamas agreed to let foreign nationals evacuate on the condition that a list of injured Palestinians could also depart, but approximately one third of the people on the list were Hamas members. Israel accused Hamas of attacking IDF troops facilitating the evacuation window, further highlighting the group's exploitation of the Gazan population.
