The Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli forces opened fire inside the wards of the Ibn Sina Hospital in the town of Jenin. The ministry condemned the raid and called on the international community to pressure Israel’s military to halt such operations in hospitals. A hospital spokesperson said there was no exchange of fire, indicating that it was a targeted killing.

Footage said to be security camera video from the hospital that circulated on social media showed about a dozen undercover forces, most of them armed, dressed as women with Muslim headscarves or hospital staff in scrubs or white doctor’s coats. One in a surgical mask carried a rifle in one arm and a folded wheelchair in the other. The forces were seen patting down one man who kneeled against a wall, his arms raised.

    Doesn’t this article show that Hamas does hide/blend among the civilian population and at least in this case, most likely in others, do it in hospitals hoping to avoid attack?

        Do you equate a military operation with terrorists hiding? Strange logic, care to explain?

                No, I’m not mad. What did he think the IDF officers were supposed to do go in naked? His question did not need an answer because it was silly.

      One of the killed was partially paralyzed and receiving treatment. The other two were visiting him. One of them was his brother.

        Incorrect, of the other two THEY were brothers. Neither were brothers of the paT\tient and the article says nothing of them visiting but of then hiding.

          You have to read a sentence two paragraphs below the paragraph about the three men killed. It states that:

          “Hospital spokesperson Tawfiq al-Shobaki said … that Basel Ghazawi had been a patient since October, with partial paralysis.”

            Ah, I see, I’m getting mixed up on the names. You were right, one brother was the patient. His brother was visiting with the target who got shot.
