Hamas Admits to Turning Hospitals into Military Assets with NGO Compliance

Let this sink in: “International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) ‘has chosen [to operate] in a wing inside Al-Shifa Hospital that is adjacent to the [Hamas] movement’s offices’ (emphasis added).”

UNRWA has already been long established as a Hamas collaborator. Now, as NGO Monitor notes in the report below, a range of NGOs are complicit.

Israel is left with no choice but to abandon all appeasement and any false hopes of  winning over support from far-left organizations who are members of the red-green axis. Enough evidence is available to allow anyone to have adequate knowledge to either stand with Israel as a matter of justice — a Western ally on the front line of the global jihad — or with the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot Hamas.

It has become increasingly more apparent that there is much more that motivates those who claim to care about Gazans, but who also exonerate Hamas for using Gazans as human shields. Jew-hatred and disdain for Western traditions (founded on Judeo-Christian values) are at the core.

“In Their Own Words: Hamas Turns Hospitals into Military Assets with NGO Compliance,” NGO Monitor, September 10, 2025:

Summary

• For years, claims that Hamas used hospitals to shield its leadership and fighters have been met by skepticism and disregarded by the international community and media. Newly-revealed internal Hamas documents prove that the terror group’s exploitation of medical facilities in Gaza has been systematic.
• Hamas ministry documents, dated February and March 2020, detail Hamas’ strategy of embedding its military infrastructure, fighters, and leadership within hospitals and medical facilities in Gaza, blatantly violating international law and endangering civilian lives. As with all such installations and services in Gaza, Hamas cynically exploits the healthcare system to provide cover for and expand its terror operations.
• Hamas explicitly states that health facilities in Gaza are not neutral spaces, but instead play a critical role in Hamas’ terror network. Hamas officials expressed alarm at the prospect of “hostile parties” gathering intelligence on medical facilities, since these “serve as places that the wounded” – who “hold sensitive positions in the resistance” (emphasis added) – “are gathered in during times of escalation.” In addition, they described medical facilities as places of “gathering for many commanders of the movement [i.e. Hamas] and the government in times of escalation” (emphasis added).
• Hamas also deliberately maintains a physical presence within hospital buildings. For example, Hamas officials note that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) “has chosen [to operate] in a wing inside Al-Shifa Hospital that is adjacent to the [Hamas] movement’s offices” (emphasis added).
• Despite being aware of Hamas’ control and exploitation of medical spaces, NGOs and UN agencies with a medical and humanitarian focus continued to operate under Hamas-imposed restrictions. They accepted Hamas’s surveillance, movement limitations, vetting of their teams, and were exposed to pressures and directives from Hamas security personnel.
• The NGOs also refuse to publicly admit their knowledge of Hamas’ use of medical spaces for military purposes, while simultaneously and hypocritically condemning Israeli attacks on terror targets in the vicinity of hospitals and medical centers. This selective reporting distorts reality, prevents the international community from obtaining reliable information from the field, encourages terror groups to continue exploiting areas that ought to be neutral, undermines humanitarian efforts in Gaza, and contributes to the demonization of Israel….
