CNN —A US official with knowledge of American intelligence says Hamas has a command node under the Al-Shifa hospital, uses fuel intended for it and its fighters regularly cluster in and around Gaza’s largest hospital.
The information comes after comments made Sunday by a top White House official that Hamas is using hospitals and civilian facilities.
Hamas and hospital officials have denied the accusation that the hospital is being used as a command center.
But Israel has insisted that patients can be evacuated from the hospital.
“Regrettably, the hospital is not functioning as a hospital anymore,” it said.
