IDF says drone footage shows Hamas gunmen transporting arms in ambulance in north Gaza

The IDF publishes drone footage it says shows armed Hamas operatives using ambulances to transport weapons in northern Gaza.

The military says that “routine drone operations” in the Jabalia area, close to the Gaza ceasefire line, “exposed how armed Hamas terrorists repeatedly and systematically use ambulances to transfer operatives and weapons from a hospital to a school.”

The clips show gunmen operating around an ambulance at two locations.

“This is further proof of the cynical exploitation carried out by Hamas on a regular basis and of its violations of international law under the cover of the civilian population for terrorist purposes,” the IDF says.

The army says that since the start of the ceasefire, Hamas “has violated the agreement and focused its efforts on restoring its military capabilities.”

“The IDF will continue to operate in accordance with international law with regard to medical facilities and educational institutions, including those in which Hamas chose to place its terrorist infrastructure, while committing a blatant violation of the rules of international law,” it adds.
