Dispute over military activity at Kamal Adwan Hospital

Overview

Disputes have emerged regarding the use of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza for military purposes. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released footage alleging that armed Hamas operatives operate within the facility, using it as a hub for terrorist activity while utilizing medical staff and patients as human shields. The IDF claims the site has been used to plan attacks and noted that previous operations in the area led to the apprehension of over 240 operatives.

Hamas has rejected these allegations, describing them as “baseless” and an attempt to justify targeting healthcare infrastructure. Hamas called for international investigative committees to verify the hospital’s status, while medical sources reported that an Israeli airstrike killed a civil defense worker attempting to rescue the injured near the facility.

As the Gaza Strip marks one year since a US-brokered ceasefire, the IDF has released further footage alleging that Hamas militants are using Kamal Adwan Hospital as a hub for terrorist activity, including the planting of explosives and other military purposes.
