White House says Hamas using hospital to run military operations
백악관 “하마스, 병원을 군사작전거점으로 이용 전쟁범죄 해당“
The White House said Tuesday that it has evidence Hamas using Al Shifa hospital to operate military actions.
The remarks come amid harsh criticism from the international community over fighting close to the crippled hospital where thousands of people are taking refuge.
Lee Seung-jae has more.
The White House on Tuesday said it has intelligence indicating that Hamas is using Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, to run its military operations, supporting Israel’s initial claims.
Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One,.. White House’s national security spokesperson John Kirby said that Hamas has stored weapons at the hospital, adding that using the hospital for military operations is “a war crime.“
Hamas says the claims are untrue.
With the surrounding area the scene of intense fighting in the past week, the hospital suffering from energy shortages and dwindling supplies, the Gaza health ministry says at least 32 patients, including three premature babies, died over the weekend.
As the Israeli military continues to seize key Hamas facilities during ground offensives in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared that it has completely taken control of northern Gaza.
Gallant added that no place will be safe for Hamas until Israel’s mission is complete and they bring back all the hostages taken by the Palestinian militant group.
Israel also said it had successfully taken over Hamas’s parliament building, other government buildings, military and police offices, and intelligence bureau.
And as the Israeli forces advance to the center of Gaza City, the IDF says it has found large weapons caches and explosives at many civilian sites including at mosques, and Al-Quds University in Gaza City.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and the U.K. announced a fresh round of sanctions on Tuesday targeting Hamas.
The U.S.’s third round of sanctions this time targets key Hamas officials.
It also targets mechanisms through which Iran provides support for Hamas and its ally Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The U.K. on the other hand sanctioned four Hamas senior leaders and two financiers including the militant group’s political leader in Gaza and the commander of its military arm.
The sanctions aim to cut off funding for Hamas following its deadly attack on Israel last month.
