Gaza: In Gaza, Hamas has been accused of using civilians as human shields in war. Israel has been making such allegations since the beginning. The jihadists are using multiple hospitals in the Gaza Strip to defend themselves while fighting the Jewish state.
In one such hospital, a top Hamas leader, Ahmed Siyaam, held a total of 1,000 people, including patients and civilians, in captivity, Israel alleged. This time, the Israeli defense forces have claimed that the jihadist leader was killed by israeli forces.
