Ahmed Kahlot, the director of the Kamal Adwan hospital in the Jabaliya refugee camp, who was arrested last week in the Gaza Strip, admitted during the interrogation that Hamas had turned the hospital into a military facility under its control. In a statement on behalf of the IDF spokesman and the Israeli Security Agency spokeswoman, statements were published that he said were relevant to his investigation: "They are hiding in hospitals because they believe it is a safe place. The leaders of Hamas are cowards. They left us in the field while they are hiding in hiding places." Kahlot also said that "Hamas has offices inside the hospitals, and also places for senior officials. They all have private phone lines inside the hospital, and they also brought a kidnapped soldier there."
