Israel - Hamas War : Hamas violating rules of war by having...
According to The Times of israel, white house National Security Council spokesperson john Kirby stated on wednesday that Hamas is breaking the law of war by establishing its headquarters in a Gaza hospital. In a briefing, Kirby stated that Gaza City's Al Shifa facility is "an active legitimate hospital... We want their patients to be as protected as possible."
When asked if the US had given prior consent to the IDF's Shifa Hospital attack, Kirby responded no since Washington does not require israel to offer advance notification of its military actions in Gaza. "We have information that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad use some hospitals in the Gaza Strip, including al-Shifa, and tunnels underneath them to conceal and support their military operations and hold hostages," spokesperson john Kirby told reporters during a briefing, according to The Times of Israel.
"From al-Shifa in Gaza City, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad members run a command and control [center]." They have weapons stashed there and are ready to retaliate to an Israeli military attack on that site," Kirby stated, citing US intelligence estimates, according to The Times of Israel.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Defence Forces have stated that they are conducting precise and targeted strikes in a specific sector of Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital. The operation is being carried out based on intelligence and operational requirements.
In Gaza, the IDF is launching an operation to destroy Hamas and free our hostages. israel is at war with Hamas, not with Gaza's inhabitants.
"Forces include medical teams and Arabic speakers, who have undergone specified training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment, with the intent that no harm is caused to the civilians being used by Hamas as human shields," the israel Defence Forces (IDF) said in a statement.
In recent weeks, the IDF has publicly warned Hamas that their continuous military use of the Shifa hospital jeopardizes its protected status under international law, and has given the hospital enough opportunity to discontinue this unlawful exploitation.
