The United States has “no evidence” that the hostages held by Hamas, including American citizens, are still alive. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated this, stressing that in any case “there are no indications to the contrary” and that the release of the hostages remains Washington’s top priority.
Meanwhile, rumors continue to emerge about where Hamas terrorists are hiding. “Most of Hamas’ top political and military leaders are hiding in hospitals, especially Al-Shifa hospital.” This was revealed by one of the terrorists captured by Israeli forces during interrogations, some of which were published by the IDF and the Shin Bet. These results would suggest that Hamas uses ambulances, hospitals, mosques and schools for terrorist activities. Additionally, a recording was released of a Gaza resident with a Hamas operative in the Strip, saying that he could leave “in any ambulance I wanted” from Gaza. One of the terrorists interviewed reportedly stated that the military wing of Hamas has its own ambulances and that their appearance is “similar to that of civilian ambulances to avoid raising suspicion or being targeted by Israel.” According to another terrorist, ambulances are used during clashes to evacuate fighters and terrorists.
