This latest advancement by Israeli forces proves once again that Hamas terrorists have been using civilian areas and infrastructure for their own malicious purposes. The IDF has continuously warned the world about Hamas’ cynical use of Gaza residents and hospitals as human shields. In fact, the IDF presented evidence showing that the Al-Shifa Hospital was utilized by Hamas as a base for military operations. CCTV footage exposed the shocking sight of armed men forcibly transporting hostages into the hospital. The hostages included a Nepalese civilian and a Thai civilian who had been kidnapped from Israeli territory. This is a clear violation of international law and further demonstrates the ruthless tactics employed by Hamas.
It is crucial to acknowledge the bravery and skill of the Israeli forces in their mission to dismantle Hamas’ infrastructure and protect innocent lives. They have exposed the truth behind Hamas’ despicable actions, shedding light on their use of civilian areas to launch attacks and hold hostages. Israel must continue to defend itself against these terrorist organizations that threaten its existence. The international community should support Israel’s efforts to ensure the safety and security of its citizens.
