Senior Hamas official rejected Israeli claims about Hospital in Gaza being a command post for fighters.
Tehran - (ISNA) - Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas official, has rejected Israeli claims about al-Shifa Hospital being a command post for fighters as "false and misleading propaganda".
"The occupying forces have no evidence to prove it," Hamad said. "We have never used civilians as human shields because it goes against our religion, morality and principles."
Ashraf al-Qudra, a spokesman for Gaza's Health Ministry, said the hospital repeatedly invited international organisations to tour al-Shifa to confirm its neutrality but has not received a response.
As Israel drag war against Gaza to hospitals, TelAviv claims Hamas operates inside al-Shifa and underneath it in bunkers, however, it has released no actual evidence to support this.
Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari last month displayed "simulated" images allegedly showing Hamas "command centres", but later acknowledged: "This is only an illustration."
