In a startling confession, the former director of Kalamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, Ahmed Kalat, has admitted to being a senior Hamas commander and revealed that 16 hospital staff members, including doctors, nurses, and paramedics, were also part of Hamas' military wing. Kalat made this revelation during an interrogation by Israeli forces after his arrest on December 12th.
According to Kalat, he was recruited as a lieutenant colonel in the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, back in 2010. He further confessed that the hospital, under his leadership, was not only used as a medical facility but also as a Hamas military center. The hospital provided a safe haven for Hamas fighters and was utilized for activities such as interrogation and communication.
