As the Israeli military continues its week-long operation battling hundreds of terrorists holed up inside Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical center in Gaza, the World Health Organization (WHO) has refrained from condemning the cynical use of a hospital by Palestinian terror groups. Despite repeated requests for comment, the WHO remained silent as the Israel Defense Forces engaged with fighters from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad inside the hospital.
Hamas has admitted to using almost every hospital in Gaza, including Al-Shifa Hospital, for its military activities. Itamar Yaar, a former deputy head of Israel’s National Security Council, highlighted that Hamas utilizes hospitals because they believe Israel will not dare to send troops into these sites.
