The IDF and the General Security Service revealed a series of testimonies and investigations of Hamas terrorists, in which the terrorists captured in the October 7th massacre share the secrets of the terrorist organization, and how Hamas uses hospitals, ambulances, schools and mosques as tools for terrorism.
In the video released by the IDF and the intelligence agencies, the terrorists being interrogated in the Shin Bet rooms reveal how Hamas uses civilian infrastructure as a cover for murderous terrorist activity, among the details revealed by the terrorists is the ways in which the terrorist organization Hamas uses ambulances for the purpose of transferring weapons and terrorists in the Gaza Strip. This is another example of the terrorist organization Hamas's cynical exploitation of civilian infrastructure and their hiding behind the local population in the Strip.
Among the details revealed by the security agencies is a telephone conversation that was picked up by the intelligence arms between two Hamas commanders in the Gaza Strip. During the conversation one of the commanders offers to send an ambulance to pick up the other terrorist in the conversation, who informs the first commander that this is not necessary and that he has access to all the ambulances he will need.
Among the revelations of the intelligence organizations and Shin Bet investigators is a series of details revealed by the Nukhba terrorists who were captured during the October massacre. Among the prominent details that the investigators uncovered from the hands of the terrorists are quotes provided by the Hamas terrorists during the investigations that revealed the methods of operation of the murderous terrorist organization.
Among the details revealed by Shin Bet investigators from the hands of the terrorists are: "Elqassam (one of the organization's terrorist battalions) has its own ambulances, some of which are also at the military base. The appearance of the ambulances is similar to civilian ambulances so that they do not arouse suspicion or be bombed by Israel." The terrorists added that "most senior Hamas political and military officials are hiding in the hospitals, especially in the Shifaa hospital. They are taking advantage of the hospitals so that they will not be bombed."
Some of the terrorists even exposed Hamas' use of children's facilities and schools, according to the terrorists being interrogated: "Hamas stores weapons and ammunition under schools," and regarding Hamas's preparations for war and the use of civilian infrastructure, the terrorists explained that "many places in the Gaza Strip are booby-trapped, where the cables leading to the operating system are in mosques and clinics of citizens."
The IDF's exposure continues to emphasize Hamas' use of civilians and civilian infrastructure protected by international law as hiding places and human shields.
