Hundreds of people are feared dead after a blast rocked Al Ahli hospital in Gaza City. Hamas said the Israeli military was responsible for the strike. Israel in turn has blamed the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, an armed group based in Gaza
The spokesman for the political wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, in which he admitted that the terror group tried to hide the fact that one of its rockets struck Al-Ahli Arab Hospital at the beginning of the war, as well as saying that terror operatives use “all hospitals in the Gaza Strip.”
Tarek Abu Shaluf was among 500 terror operatives captured by the IDF at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital last month, the military said.
The IDF said Abu Shaluf “advanced acts of incitement and propaganda from within Shifa Hospital, and testified to the use of the compound and medical equipment for terror purposes.”
In the video, Abu Shaluf is seen telling an interrogator of the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504 that the blast at Al-Ahli hospital (which he referred to by the local name of “Mamadani Hospital”) was “a local rocket. We said it was Israeli.”
Israel accused Islamic Jihad of firing the rocket that fell short and hit the hospital in late October, reportedly killing dozens of people, hours after Hamas officials falsely blamed an Israeli strike, a claim that international media outlets widely reported.
“To erase this story, the movement (Islamic Jihad) made some moves — it made up a story that the rocket belonged to the occupation (Israel) and that the target was the [hospital] building,” Abu Shalaf said.https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-interrogation-islamic-jihad-spokesman-admits-gr...
