IDF releases video footage of Hamas, Islamic Jihad operatives revealing how they use hospitals as operational hubs

[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces Intelligence Directorate releases video footage of Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...
and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
operatives detailing how the terror groups used Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
City’s Shifa Hospital as a hub for terror operations.

The terror operatives were detained in the vicinity of Shifa Hospital in recent days amid the ongoing large-scale military operation, the military says.

The Islamic Jihad operative, identified by the IDF as Nabeel Rajab Abed Shteiwi, says during the interrogation that he has been working with the terror group in missile production since 2012.

"Shifa, or schools and places like that, are our shelter," Shteiwi says of the Islamic Jihad and Hamas, adding that he has been living in the hospital for three months.

Asked by the interrogator where the group’s headquarters inside the hospital are located, Shteiwi says that the group "does not have specific headquarters. They are in all the buildings, scattered everywhere."

He says that a large number of Hamas operatives use the hospital’s "Specialist Building" as their hub, but adds that this "doesn’t mean that they aren’t in other buildings" as well.

As to how so many terror operatives can move around the hospital undisturbed, he says, "You might see someone who doesn’t look like a nurse but is dressed in nurse clothes walking around."

The IDF also releases footage from the interrogation of Hamas operative Bakr Ahmed Bakr Qanita, who says he was in Shifa Hospital for 25 days.

Telling the interrogator that there are 600-1,000 Hamas operatives inside the hospital, Qanita says that there are "certain places" in Shifa that belong to the group, including in the medical residency department where terror operatives store weapons.

He confirms that the group uses the Specialist Building as one of its primary locations, as Shteiwi said, along with the Management Building.

The two terror groups tend to use hospitals across Gaza as their operation hubs because of "the large population and the large displacement," Qanita says, adding that access to water and electricity is also a factor in the decision.

In a statement released alongside the video footage, the IDF says "the murderous Moslems disclosed details of Hamas terror infrastructure deeply embedded within the hospital, which is used by senior Hamas operatives for planning and directing terror attacks."
