Israeli government spokesperson Avi Heyman said on Wednesday that an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) attack on Hamas terrorists at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City resulted in civilian casualties despite many terrorist casualties. said that it was “zero”.
As Breitbart News reported, the Israel Defense Forces discovered earlier this month that Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists had returned to the Shifa hospital, which Israel vacated late last year, and discovered terrorist weapons and tunnels.
When the IDF returned to the hospital, it came under fire from terrorists inside the facility and launched a deliberate and coordinated attack that ultimately killed 170 terrorists and arrested nearly 500 terrorist group members. .
The IDF strives to ensure the continuation of normal hospital services during the attack, and on Wednesday reported “zero civilian casualties among hospital staff and patients,” despite heavy casualties to the terrorists. announced that it was.
Anti-Israel activists around the world claim that a Hamas attack on Shifa hospital by the Israel Defense Forces left many civilians dead. Pro-Palestinian students at Harvard University have even held a vigil for the “victims” of Israeli Defense Force attacks.
According to Israel, all of these “victims” were actually terrorists. IDF spokesman Maj. Gen. Daniel Hagari said: Said Tuesday: “Hamas is spreading lies on social media and the Al Jazeera network about harm to civilians in hospitals. No civilians, patients, doctors or medical staff were harmed in this operation. Only the terrorists were harmed. The IDF, contrary to Hamas’s course of action, transported patients to the building and provided them with treatment, assistance, and medical equipment.”
The IDF also admitted that it had carried out similar operations against terrorists hiding in other hospitals. The use of hospitals for military purposes is a violation of international humanitarian law.
Heimann said on Wednesday that Israel had authorized further aid to Gaza, including four UNICEF mobile desalination plants. He stressed that aid flows into Gaza are possible without limit, but that the United Nations is “hopelessly inefficient” in distributing aid.
When asked by Breitbart News if Israel would shift its focus away from individual Iranian-backed terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah and instead confront Iran itself, Heyman said: Head. We’ve been saying since the beginning of the war that it looks very much like an octopus run by a tyrant in Tehran. …When the time comes, we will eliminate them one by one. ”
