ANALYSIS – As the establishment media shamelessly and uncritically parrots the Hamas terror group's lies about Gaza, it demands constant proof that Israel's claims are true. Sadly, even when Israel does provide convincing evidence, the media ignores or downplays it.
And Hamas sympathizers furiously try to discredit the evidence.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) keeps providing more proof that Hamas is indeed using Gazan hospitals as human shields, and even used al-Shifa hospital, the largest in Gaza, to hold and murder Israeli hostages.
As the Economist noted: “In recent days the IDF has pointed to weapons, computers and intelligence equipment found in the hospital's MRI centre; a tunnel shaft with a blast-proof door and firing hole; and CCTV footage showing that Israeli hostages, some of them with no apparent injuries, were taken to al-Shifa after their abduction by Hamas on October 7th.”
And though Israel has occasionally jumped the gun on claiming specifics about Hamas war crimes and raised expectations of what they expected to find at protected civilian sites like hospitals, the proof is still there.
The Economist continued: “Israel unwisely raised expectations by publishing dramatic videos of Bond-villain lairs underneath the hospital. But it is increasingly clear that Hamas was abusing the site.”
The IDF added: “The findings prove beyond all doubt that buildings in the hospital complex are used as infrastructure for the Hamas terror organization, for terror activity. This is further proof of the cynical use that the Hamas terror organization makes of the residents of the Gaza Strip as a human shield for its murderous terror activities.”
But now things are getting even worse for Hamas as they appear to have murdered at least one hostage, if not two, at the hospital itself.
Earlier, Israel reported that it had found the bodies of two female Israeli hostages, Yehudit Weiss, and IDF Cpl. Noa Marciano, on the grounds, or right next to, the al-Shifa hospital complex.
Weiss, 65, a mother of five, was abducted from Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7, when thousands of Hamas terrorists streamed into Israel, murdering at least 1,200 people and taking some 240 hostages.
Her husband, Shmulik, was found murdered in the safe room of their home a week and a half after the attack. She was undergoing cancer treatment at the time she was kidnapped.
Meanwhile, there is more information about Cpl. Marciano, age 19. The Times of Israel reported:
According to IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, Marciano was wounded by an IDF strike on November 9, while held in Gaza, and later taken to Shifa, where she was murdered.
“Noa [Marciano] was kidnapped to an apartment next to Shifa Hospital. During the IDF strikes in Gaza, a Hamas terrorist who was holding her was killed,” Hagari said Sunday during a daily press briefing.
“The pathology report states that Noa was injured by the strike, but not in a life-threatening manner, and this is contrary to the lies published by Hamas according to which Noa was killed by IDF strikes,” he said.
“According to intelligence information, Noa was taken inside the walls of Shifa Hospital, where she was murdered by a Hamas terrorist,” he added.
Marciano (Noa) served with the Combat Intelligence Collection Corps 414th unit at the Nahal Oz IDF base when it was overrun.
Along with al-Shifa, Hamas is accused of using other Gazan hospitals for terror purposes, including Gaza City's Rantisi. And Hamas is helping provide the evidence to confirm that.
The terror group posted a video Sunday that clearly showed three armed terrorists running into the Rantisi hospital after apparently spotting Israeli troops.
Hamas described the three terrorists as “martyrdom fighters,” indicating they were suicide bombers.
