Terrorists Captured by Hamas Being Treated in Israeli Hospitals Sparks Controversy
In a controversial move, Hamas terrorists captured in Israel on October 7th are reportedly being treated in public hospitals in the country, according to a report by “News 12”. Some of the terrorists have been hospitalized for a few days, sparking criticism among hospital officials who are calling for a separate medical facility to be built for them.
The decision to treat the terrorists in public hospitals has drawn criticism, especially after reports of them being treated near wounded soldiers and civilians. Following public backlash, hospitals in Israel initially refused to admit the terrorists, prompting the prison service to open a special facility for their medical treatment.
However, in recent days, hospitals have resumed treating terrorists in need of medical care, leading to further criticism from senior officials who argue that it cannot continue in this manner. They are calling for a separate, more secure medical facility to be built for the terrorists and to stop bringing them to public hospitals.
The Ministry of Health was unable to provide details on the number of terrorists hospitalized or currently receiving treatment, stating that the matter is still under investigation. Hospital officials have also raised concerns about the safety of medical teams treating the terrorists, citing the personal connections of some staff members to injured, killed or kidnapped individuals, as well as the risk of potential violence.
The controversy surrounding the treatment of Hamas terrorists in Israeli hospitals has reignited concerns about the potential security and safety risks associated with providing medical care to individuals involved in terrorist activities. The Ministry of Health has yet to provide clear answers on the matter, leaving the public and hospital officials in a state of uncertainty.
