The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday released new intelligence and footage indicating that the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabalia, northern Gaza, is being used by Hamas as a central hub for its operations, in addition to its civilian medical functions. According to an IDF spokesperson, the hospital operates as a clinic during the day but is simultaneously exploited by armed militants to advance terror plans and rebuild military capabilities.
The IDF emphasized that these activities are conducted from within the medical facility, involving the cynical use of patients, medical staff, and civilians as human shields, which constitutes a violation of international law. Security officials noted that this is not a new phenomenon, as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have used the hospital and its vicinity for years to carry out attacks against Israeli forces and civilians, despite repeated Israeli calls to avoid using civilian and medical facilities for combat.
During a ground operation in December 2024, IDF forces raided the hospital area, discovering significant military equipment and weaponry. They also apprehended over 240 Hamas and PIJ operatives who were allegedly hiding within the compound under civilian and medical cover. The IDF stated that surveillance of hospitals in Gaza continues to thwart future threats.
