A British doctor who used to work at Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largest medical center, under which the IDF says Hamas operates a major command and control base, has confirmed that there were areas of the hospital where he could not go, or else he would be shot.
In a recent interview with the English-language channel of French broadcaster France24…
“No duh”
- anyone with knowledge of Gaza before 10/7
Separately, a journalist from Italy who spoke to The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity recounted that in 2009, right after Israel’s Operation Cast Lead against Hamas, he visited Gaza’s hospitals looking to interview wounded members of Fatah — the rival Palestinian faction that Hamas violently ousted from the coastal enclave in 2007.
“Eventually, I realized that they were all at home — Fatah members were too afraid to stay in the hospital, even if they were wounded,” the journalist said.
“Shifa is a very large compound. I got lost inside it, and at some point I ended up on an underground floor, and I found myself in front of two armed Hamas men in military attire, who told me to get out.”
"Eventually, I realized that they were all at home — Fatah members were too afraid to stay in the hospital, even if they were wounded,” the journalist said.
What is the implication? They would have been killed by Hamas in the hospital?
Which doesn’t mean that hospitals are terrorist hot spots, just that they are not safe in a deadly gang war. Mobsters also don’t feel safe from rivals in a hospital room.
Lol don’t tell that to the Lemmy Hamas sympathizers.
This would be more believable if the IDF, which has been searching the complex for days, had found anything of the sort. A major command and control base, supposedly accessible from places random employees can stumble upon, isn’t something you need days of intensive searching to reveal.
They blasted a hole through a garage floor to find a tunnel, that’s not a terror command center and not something a member of the hospital would stumble upon. If this was a big important storage and command site that random doctors would wander into, the troops there would have found it already by just opening doors.
These situations can still be reconciled. Perhaps this particular doctor had a habit of blasting holes in floors and had to be told not to do that under threat of being shot.
Most probable scenario.

It’s totally unfair, you know. Western audiences have been long conditioned to treat it as a sign of villainy when a dictatorial regime builds secret tunnels under innocuous civilian facilities to hide their terrorist warmongering and torture operations! Government propanganda sources like “James Bond” and “G.I. Joe” have conditioned Western audiences to believe that only the bad guys do that!
(Good guys build their secret underground facilities in places of astonishing natural beauty far from civilians who might be harmed by unexpected explosions.)
But what about all the James Bond supervillian bases in volcanoes etc?
Still waiting for Israel’s evidence.
Between surveillance camera footage, the guy shooting rocket launcher from the front door and this what would you consider as evidence instead?
The video of the guy holding a rocket launcher next to a different hospital? Israel lost me the moment they tampered with the evidence before news crews came. Wait no they lost me the moment they tried to convince us that that one calendar was a Hamas guard shift list.
“…they also had a Starbucks. It sucked,” the doctor added before grabbing his no-foam, no-whip, double soy latte with two pumps of vanilla and rushing out the door.
