Hamas leaders hiding under Gaza City hospital, says IDF official
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), Major General Yoav Mordechai, says Hamas leaders are hiding in bunkers under the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and that one of them even made use of an ambulance to leave.
In an interview with the BBC in Arabic, picked up by Israel Radio, Mordechai adds that senior Hamas military wing official Marwan Issa is hiding in a home with children, using them as human shields.
