Accusations of Hamas Using Hospitals and Schools for Cover

According to Israeli authorities, since the commencement of military operations against Hamas on October 7, the organization has been accused of using hospitals and schools in Gaza as cover for military activities.

Hamas command centers reportedly play a significant role, being situated in various locations including the basement of Al-Shifa hospital. Hamas, on the other hand, denies these accusations and accuses the Israeli army of committing war crimes against the Palestinian civilian populace.
