Hamas Co-Founder’s Son Denies Gaza Hospital Director’s Coercion Claim
The Truth About Hamas Using Hospitals as Military Facilities
In a shocking revelation, the director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabalya, northern Gaza, admitted that Hamas has been using hospitals as military facilities. Ahmed al-Kahlout, who is the son of a Hamas co-founder, dismissed claims that he was coerced into making this statement by Israel.
According to al-Kahlout, there are 16 employees in the hospital who also hold positions in the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing. They seek refuge in hospitals because they consider them safe havens. He further revealed that Hamas has offices inside the hospitals, including designated areas for senior officials, interrogations, internal security, and special forces. Private phone lines are also available for everyone within the hospital.
Al-Kahlout, who himself was recruited by Hamas in 2010 as a Brigadier General, expressed his frustration with the organization. He pleaded with them to transfer a wounded man to another hospital for treatment, but they refused, prioritizing their mission over saving lives. He criticized the cowardice of Hamas leaders who hide while their own people suffer.
Hamas in their own words:

However, some skeptics, like Chris Cuomo from News Nation, questioned whether al-Kahlout’s statement was coerced. Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a Hamas co-founder, dismissed these doubts and emphasized that Hamas strategically hires individuals with education, power, and status, including doctors and engineers.
Yousef revealed that Hamas not only employs doctors but also uses hospitals as a cover to transfer money and pay their employees. He argued that al-Kahlout’s knowledge is limited and that Hamas utilizes hospitals for much more than just housing terrorists and offices.
Yousef, who spent 27 months with Hamas operatives and witnessed their behavior during interrogations, stated that 90% of Hamas members willingly provide information without any pressure. He described how Hamas leaders, once arrested and interrogated, divulge their plans, plots, operations, and secrets. He emphasized that this is not a new phenomenon and that thousands of Hamas operatives are currently providing valuable information to Israel.
Potentially a big shift in the reality of what Israel is targeting in Gaza came, when the director of a Gaza hospital, where there were victims of this war (women, children and babies were being treated) says he’s been with Hamas since 2010 and he has a high ranking position.

What are the ethical and legal concerns surrounding the use of hospitals as military facilities by Hamas?

In recent years, there have been numerous accusations against Hamas for using hospitals as military facilities. These allegations have often been dismissed by Hamas and its supporters as Israeli propaganda. However, the admission by the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, a prominent figure within Hamas, sheds light on the reality of the situation.
The use of hospitals by Hamas as military facilities raises significant ethical and legal concerns. Hospitals are meant to serve as neutral spaces where the sick and injured can receive medical treatment without fear of harm. However, when hospitals become part of the military infrastructure, they cease to function as sanctuaries and put both patients and medical personnel at risk.
By using hospitals as military facilities, Hamas not only endangers the lives of innocent civilians but also violates international humanitarian law. The Geneva Conventions clearly state that medical personnel and facilities must be protected and respected at all times. It is unacceptable for Hamas to exploit these facilities for their own military purposes.
The admission by Ahmed al-Kahlout raises questions about the extent of Hamas’ infiltration into the healthcare system in Gaza. If one hospital alone has 16 employees who also hold positions in the Qassam Brigades, it is likely that this practice is not limited to just one facility. This revelation calls for further investigation into the extent of Hamas’ misuse of healthcare infrastructure in Gaza.
Moreover, it is deeply troubling that Hamas has designated areas within hospitals for senior officials, interrogations, internal security, and special forces. This indicates a systematic and deliberate effort by Hamas to co-opt hospitals for their military operations. The presence of private phone lines within hospitals also raises concerns about the coordination of military activities from within these facilities.
It is important to note that Ahmed al-Kahlout, himself a former member of Hamas, speaks out against the organization and its cowardice in prioritizing their own mission over saving lives. His testimony adds credibility to the claims made against Hamas’ use of hospitals as military facilities. It is vital that the international community takes these allegations seriously and holds Hamas accountable for their actions.
The use of hospitals for military purposes not only undermines the credibility of Hamas but also puts innocent lives at risk. The sanctity of hospitals must be upheld, and their neutrality should never be compromised for military gain. The admission by the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital serves as a wake-up call, urging the international community to investigate and address this grave violation of international law.
The truth about Hamas using hospitals as military facilities must be exposed and condemned. It is the responsibility of the international community to ensure that healthcare infrastructure in Gaza remains a safe haven for all, where lives are saved rather than weaponized for political purposes. Only by holding Hamas accountable can we protect the rights and well-being of the people who rely on these hospitals for their survival.
