Q The Islamic Jihad uses the Maternity Ward?

A Yes, like their headquarters.

Q And, Hamas?

A Hamas uses the Management Building and the Specialist Building and the Maternity Ward, in the department below. I told the officer.

Q Why do you think Hamas and the Islamic Jihad use the hospitals all over Gaza?

A Because of the large population, the large displacement,
there is also water and electricity, and there is always movement.

Q That’s the reason?

A A basic reason.

Q Because the hospital is a humane place.

A Yes, the truth is that no one should touch it.

I’ll tell you what causes it, (hospitals).
but honestly no one should touch them (hospitals).

Q We (the military) got closer and entered hospitals.
Why? Because they (Hamas and Islamic Jihad) are there, the problem is
who is harmed by this in the end.

A In the end, the civilians, the sick, the injured, are affected by this.
