Hamas Tried to Hijack Ambulances During Gaza War
[Sydney Morning Herald-Australia] Jason Koutsoukis - Mohammed Shriteh, 30, is a Gaza ambulance driver with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society. "Mostly the war was not as fast or as chaotic as I expected," Shriteh said. "We would coordinate with the Israelis before we pick up patients, because they have all our names, and our IDs, so they would not shoot at us." Shriteh said the more immediate threat was from Hamas, who would lure the ambulances into the heart of a battle to transport fighters to safety. Shriteh says Hamas made several attempts to hijack the al-Quds Hospital's fleet of ambulances during the war.
