The IDF warned parties at hospitals in the Gaza Strip over the past few days against continuing to use them for terrorist purposes

⭕️Following the strike carried out last night on Nasser Hospital, the IDF reveals that over the past few days, officers from the Gaza Coordination and Liaison Directorate of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories made warning calls to parties at hospitals and within the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip. During these calls, they explained that terrorist organizations continue to use hospitals and medical centers to carry out terrorist activities against IDF forces and the State of Israel.

⭕️As part of these calls, the IDF demanded an immediate halt to any military or terrorist activity from within hospitals, in their vicinity, or through the exploitation of medical infrastructure. It explained that if these activities were not stopped, the IDF would be forced to take action to eliminate the threats they pose.

⭕️The message is clear: the terrorist Hamas movement continues to exploit hospitals and civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip for terrorist purposes, repeatedly endangering civilians and patients and compromising facilities that are supposed to be used for medical purposes.

جيش الدفاع حذّر خلال الأيام الأخيرة جهات في مستشفيات قطاع غزة من مواصلة استخدامها لأغراض إرهابية

⭕️متابعةً للغارة التي نُفذت خلال الليلة الماضية على مستشفى "ناصر"، يكشف جيش الدفاع أنه خلال الأيام الأخيرة، أجرى ضباط في مديرية التنسيق والارتباط غزة التابعة لوحدة تنسيق أعمال الحكومة في المناطق، مكالمات تحذيرية مع جهات في المستشفيات والمنظومة الصحية في قطاع غزة، وأوضحوا خلالها أن المنظمات الإرهابية تواصل استخدام المستشفيات والمراكز الطبية لتنفيذ أنشطة إرهابية ضد قوات جيش الدفاع ودولة إسرائيل.

⭕️وفي إطار هذه المكالمات، طالب جيش الدفاع بوقف فوري لأي نشاط عسكري أو إرهابي من داخل المستشفيات أو في محيطها أو من خلال استغلال البنى التحتية الطبية، وأوضح أنه في حال عدم وقف هذه الأنشطة، سيضطر جيش الدفاع إلى التحرك لإزالة التهديدات الناجمة عنها.

⭕️الرسالة واضحة: تواصل حركة حماس الإرهابية استغلال المستشفيات والبنى التحتية المدنية في قطاع غزة لأغراض إرهابية، وبذلك تعرّض السكان المدنيين والمرضى للخطر مرة تلو الأخرى، وتمسّ بالمرافق التي يُفترض أن تُستخدم للأغراض الطبية.

This report is lacking much context and provides a lacking explanation of the situation at best, this is subpar and needs to be corrected.

1. The Nasser facility was used by Hamas, this was also mentioned by MSF, i don't know why this was not mentioned in the video. (reuters.com/business/healt…)

2. The Nasser facility was used to hold Israeli hostages, Sharon Aloni Cunio and her three year old twin daughters, and Ilana Gritzewsky, who later testified before the UN Security Council about sexual abuse by her captors, along at least a dozen more.

- Sharon Aloni Cunio testimony - keyt.com/news/national-…

3. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic jihad have infiltrated the staff of the hospital and worked as medical and administrative staff. a thread with images and documents to prove it:

3. Hamas is using hospitals on purpose to hide its activities and use the immunity it is given by reports such as this, it uses it to harm Israelis and Palestinians.
It has used the facility to interrogate Palestinians under hard conditions.
Palestinian testimonies and an internal Hamas document prove the use of the hospital as such.(x.com/eliorlevy/stat…)

4. Harder questions need to be asked of those who are witnesses to how Hamas is misusing the facility, and skepticism regarding their denial of it, also skepticism should be applied to reports that obscure it.

Israel has struck a hospital in Gaza for the first time since the official end of the war, killing six people, health officials said.

A surgeon and a teenager were among those killed in the attack on Wednesday night, with more than 20 others wounded, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry.
