U.S.: The IDF Did Not Attack a Hospital, They Attacked Hamas Fighters Hiding Inside a Hospital
(U.S. State Department) State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Monday: "I don't know why I don't hear more people calling on Hamas to stop going into hospitals. You shouldn't have to clear Hamas from a hospital once, let alone twice....Israel has said what they tried to do is protect patients and not operate in places when there are patients, to evacuate people from the hospital, and only operate in a way that would impact the Hamas fighters that were there. Obviously, it's an incredibly difficult situation. There shouldn't be terrorists in a hospital at all....I would think everyone could conclude that Hamas should not be inside a hospital." "Do not believe that this attack was on the hospital. The attack was on the Hamas fighters that are hiding inside a hospital....some place that they should never be....I don't think there's anyone who has cause to dispute that yes, there were Hamas fighters hiding in al-Shifa Hospital - again, not for the first time."
