Proof by the image. The Israeli army on Sunday released images showing what it said were Hamas operatives firing from a hospital in Gaza and others exposing the existence of a missile launch site located 75 meters from a hospital under which are Hamas tunnels.
The Israeli army is regularly accused, notably by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN since it entered the war against Hamas, for its bombings on or near health infrastructures. of the Gaza Strip where there are many civilians, including displaced people who find refuge there.
One of the cases exposed during a press presentation of these images from intelligence service documents concerns a hospital in Gaza whose construction was financed by Qatar. The images show, according to Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari, “Hamas terrorists shooting at soldiers from inside the hospital.”
“Terrorist infrastructure in the Qatari hospital”
The video was filmed, according to the same source, during the ground operation led by Israeli forces to “annihilate Hamas” in the Gaza Strip from where the Islamist movement launched its deadly attack against Israel on October 7. A tunnel was also “used for terrorist infrastructure in the Qatari hospital”, Mr Hagari said.
In a second case, which concerns the Indonesian hospital, north of Gaza, the establishment was built on Hamas “terrorist outposts” and hides underground “a command center” of the organization, said the spokesperson, supporting photos. He also presented evidence, according to the army, of the existence of a missile launch site located 75 meters from this hospital.
“They know full well that if Israel launches an air attack on this launch base, the hospital will be damaged,” he said, denouncing the “cynical use of hospitals” by Hamas. On Friday, the army announced that it had hit an ambulance outside al-Shifa hospital, Gaza’s largest, saying it was being “used” by Hamas. This bombing left 15 dead and 60 injured.
Hamas denies everything
The Hamas government has categorically denied the allegations, accusing Israel of using them as a pretext to target hospitals. He said he was ready on Sunday evening to receive “an international commission of inquiry” to inspect hospitals and ensure that they are not used for military purposes. The tunnels highlighted by the army are a fuel tank in one case, an underground room in the other, Hamas claimed.

The Israeli spokesperson also presented an audio recording which, according to him, proves that Hamas is stealing fuel from hospitals. The quantities of fuel brought to Gaza hospitals are counted to the nearest liter by international organizations, Hamas replied, rejecting this accusation.

According to Israeli authorities, at least 1,400 people died on the Israeli side, the majority of them civilians killed on the same day of the Hamas attack.
