hospitals for years<\/a>&nbsp;to shelter its operatives and leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Translated from Arabic, the documents also reveal that international organizations \u2014 including the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders \u2014 are aware of Hamas\u2019s presence in Gaza\u2019s medical facilities, even as they publicly deny or downplay it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cWhile repeatedly echoing Hamas allegations and condemning Israel\u2019s operations to end the exploitation of hospitals for terror, these groups clearly knew that Hamas exploited these facilities and chose to remain silent,\u201d Gerald Steinberg, president of NGO Monitor, said in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"

style=\"color: #000080;\">Since the start of the war in Gaza, Hamas\u2019s exploitation of hospitals has drawn heightened attention, with Israel facing international criticism for its operations near medical facilities as it seeks to crack down on the terrorist group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">According to NGO Monitor, the internal Hamas documents show a deliberate strategy of \u201cembedding its military infrastructure, fighters, and leadership within hospitals and medical facilities in Gaza \u2026 thereby violating international law and endangering civilian lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The documents also show that foreign NGOs have not only been aware of Hamas\u2019s presence in Gaza\u2019s medical facilities but also have sometimes worked alongside them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">For example, one internal memo notes that the Red Cross occupied a wing in the Al-Shifa medical complex directly adjacent to offices used by Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Despite international claims to the contrary, the documents show that the Palestinian terrorist group views medical facilities not as neutral spaces but as integral parts of its infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cThese facilities are considered to be of interest to hostile security parties and an important source for intelligence gathering, especially in times of war, since these health facilities are a place of gathering for the wounded during times of escalation, and these wounded cases hold sensitive positions in the resistance,\u201d one of the internal memos reads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cFurthermore, these health facilities are a place of gathering for numerous leaders of the movement and the government during times of escalation,\u201d it continues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The documents also reveal how Hamas closely monitors and controls foreign NGOs working in hospitals due to fears that they might serve as channels for Israeli intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cDo not let these associations have their own locations to work inside health facilities. When a location is allocated for these associations, it shall be outside the main building of the clinic or hospital, and far away from movement locations, and following security authorization,\u201d one of the internal memos reads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cMedical members from the Gaza Strip must join incoming delegations, whether the delegations work in hospitals or their own locations,\u201d it adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Under this structured oversight, NGO Monitor explains that foreign organizations had to operate according to Hamas\u2019s rules, \u201cmaking them complicit in a system\u201d that exploits medical centers for terrorist purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cThe internal Hamas documents reviewed in this report expose a systematic Hamas strategy to militarize Gaza\u2019s health-care system, using hospitals and medical facilities as extensions of its military and security apparatus,\u201d NGO Monitor says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cThis arrangement is fundamentally inconsistent with the principle of medical neutrality in Gaza, transforming humanitarian spaces into dual-use facilities that serve both medical and military purposes,\u201d it continues.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 100%;\">\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"content-alignment\">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><em>Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion&#8217;68,<\/em><em><br \/>\nani te\u017c webmastera Blogu Reunion&#8217;68, chyba ze jest to wyra\u017anie zaznaczone.<br \/>\nTwoje uwagi, linki, w\u0142asne artyku\u0142y lub wiadomo\u015bci prze\u015blij na adres:<br \/>\n<\/em><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><em><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr style=\"width: 100%;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.
