The White House said on Tuesday that a “variety” of U.S. intelligence sources confirm Israeli claims that Hamas is using Al Shifa Hospital and other medical centers in the Gaza Strip to run its terror operations.
“We have information that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad use some hospitals in the Gaza Strip, including Al Shifa, and tunnels underneath them to conceal and to support their military operations and to hold hostages,” U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters aboard Air Force One, according to Reuters.
“That is a war crime,” said Kirby, adding that Washington does not support airstrikes against terror bases located in or under hospitals.
