un piccolo estratto
94. The bottom line was that the Report rejects the Israeli claims that 
hospitals were used for military-terrorist purposes. According to 
Paragraph 36, p. 18, “…The Mission did not find any evidence to support 
the allegations that hospital facilities were used by the Gaza 
authorities or by Palestinian armed groups to shield military activities 
and that ambulances were used to transport combatants or for other 
military purposes…” (ITIC emphasis; also see Paragraph 469, p. 118).
Factual Findings
Overview
95. The vast amounts of Israel’s information, from both intelligence 
sources and reports from IDF forces on the ground, show that Hamas did 
in fact make extensive military use of hospitals and other medical 
facilities. That was done on the correct assumption that the IDF would 
not attack them, thus giving Hamas’ military-terrorist operatives a kind 
of immunity.
96. The principle military uses of hospitals and other medical 
facilities were the following:
A. Firing rockets close to medical institutions
B. Providing refuge for senior Hamas figures and operatives
C. Situating military facilities in or near hospitals
D. Storing weapons in or near medical centers
100. The Shifa’a Hospital, located in the western part of Gaza City, is 
the largest and most important hospital in the Gaza Strip. Large amounts 
of evidence, including Israeli intelligence and an IDF investigation, 
show it was used for military purposes by Hamas during Operation Cast 
Lead. For example:
A. Senior Hamas and Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades figures hid in the
hospital during Operation Cast Lead. They closed off some of the
departments, stationed armed guards and closely examined everyone in
the hospital. The senior figures who sought shelter in the hospital 
included Mahmoud al-Zahar and Sayid Siyyam. In addition, Ismail Haniya, 
head of the de facto Hamas administration, set up his headquarters in 
the hospital’s burn ward (or under the maternity ward, according to 
another version).
B. A Hamas operative detained during Operation Cast Lead told his 
interrogators that senior Hamas operatives took over a large bunker 
under the hospital and hid there.
C. Terrorist operatives established positions near the hospital to 
launch mortar shells.
D. Hamas transferred weapons from buildings close to the hospital.
E. The teaching and training area of the hospital next to the new 
delivery room was used as living quarters by Hamas operatives.
F. A tunnel was dug under a mosque near the hospital, which served as a 
direct escape route from one to the other. The tunnel opening and a 
hidden room were built under the maternity ward.
G. A Palestinian suspected of collaborating with Israel was executed in 
the hospital.
101. The following are open source publications from Fatah and the 
Palestinian Authority about the military use of the Shifa’a hospital:
A. Fatah sources reported that Hamas prepared the ground floor of the 
hospital’s X-ray department as a jail and interrogation facility. That 
was after the prison in the Shati refugee camp had been completely 
destroyed by the Israeli Air Force. The equipment belonging to the X-ray 
department was moved to the hospital’s first floor or lobby (Al-Ahed, a 
Fatah-affiliated website, January 21, 2009).
B. The Salam Fayyad government’s ministry of health issued an official
statement accusing Hamas’ security services of having turned medical 
centers into jails and interrogation facilities during Operation Cast 
Lead. The statement expressed the surprise of the Palestinian people and 
the entire world that after the IDF operation, Hamas’ security services 
took over the Shifa’a hospital, especially the cancer ward and the new 
building which was supposed to be used by specialists. According to the 
statement, turning the medical facilities into interrogation centers 
entailed removing the medical personnel, who had answered the call of 
the Fayyad government’s ministry of health and returned to work in view 
of the IDF operation in the Gaza Strip (Ma’an News Agency, February 7, 
2009).10
C. An article in the Italian Corriere della Sera, published on January 
22, 2009, included a statement made by a Gazan named Magah al-Rahman, 
who said that Hamas had set up an interrogation center for Fatah 
prisoners in the basement of Shifa’a. He said he heard about it from 
Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine operatives.
