Gaza Hospital Chief Admits to Being Hamas Commander

You probably recall all of the lectures we received about the mean Israeli Defense Force bombing hospitals (false) or invading hospitals on the “pretense” that Hamas was using them as headquarters full of human shields. And those medical facilities are the ones that have been providing all of the unrealistic casualty figures that the press loves to quote in an effort to shame Israel into a ceasefire. Stay away from the hospitals! Well, to the surprise of nobody who has been paying attention, the head of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya was arrested last week by the IDF and he has now confessed on tape that he is a high-ranking Hamas commander who was in fact using his hospital as a headquarters for the terror group. And he had some other tales to tell that might curl your hair. (NY Post)

The head of a Gaza hospital has admitted to being a senior Hamas commander — and detailed how the terror group transformed the medical site into an operational hub that once housed a kidnapped Israeli soldier.

Ahmad Kahlot, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya, made his taped confession to the Israeli security service Shin Bet after his arrest during last week’s raid on the facility in northern Gaza.

In a video of his interrogation released on X on Tuesday, Kahlot, dressed in an Israeli jail uniform and seated in front of Israel’s flag, said he joined Hamas in 2010 and held a rank equivalent to a brigadier general.

Israel has excellent intelligence resources that they have developed over the years as a necessity in terms of survival. They knew all of this was going on and they’ve been trying to tell everyone since the October 7 terror attacks. But the international press and the pro-Hamas left didn’t want to listen. They insisted it was all “occupation propaganda.” Will the confession of a Hamas commander with a rank equivalent to a brigadier general be enough to convince them which side has been lying? I won’t be holding my breath.

Kahlot has been spilling the beans and revealing the depth to which the hospitals have been involved. He told the IDF that his hospital had on at least one occasion been used to hold a kidnapped Israeli soldier. They used their own private ambulance service to transport not only kidnapping victims but also the bodies of hostages who were killed there. Kahlot further admitted that at least sixteen of his staff members, including doctors, nurses, and paramedics were also officers in the Hamas military wing working undercover. In the days before the hospital was evacuated, more than 100 other Hamas militants were hiding in the tunnels under the hospital. Some of them had their own offices there with private phone lines.

In this video posted to Twitter, you see Kahlot making his confession. Unfortunately, the subtitles are not translated to English, but he doesn’t appear to be under any duress during questioning. If anything, he seems ticked off at the other Hamas leaders who fled and abandoned them in the hospital. (Something he mentions during the interview.)

I don’t know how much more evidence like this needs to stack up before people wake up and realize that Israel isn’t “the bad guy” in all of this. They are not “occupiers” and they are not looking to commit genocide. Hamas is and has always been a terrorist organization. They lie constantly and they have become masters at twisting the international media around their fingers and getting them to tell a fictional story to turn the world against Israel. The ongoing drama over the hospitals in Gaza is only the latest example. It was all a lie generated by Hamas and repeated ad nauseam on MSNBC and too many other American and global media outlets. If you won’t take the word of one of the terror group’s own leaders who now feels betrayed by his fellow terrorists, who are you going to believe?
