According to a source in the United States intelligence service – allegedly – Hamas did use Al Shifa hospital as a command centre and to hold hostages. But I’m calling “bullshit” on that claim.

Here’s Reuters:

The complex was used by both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad to command forces fighting against Israel, the U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

U.S. intelligence agencies have not disclosed the evidence on which they based their assessment.

The American government believed that Hamas used the hospital complex and sites beneath it to carry out command and control activities, store some weapons and hold a few hostages, the U.S. official said.

Right. So there is no evidence to support any claim that Al Shifa Hospital was used by terrorists in any way, at any time.

The only person saying it – if you believe anybody has actually said it at all – is so unconvinced of their information that they won’t attach their name to it.

But the US government, which will make a fortune in tax receipts from arms companies that are supplying Israel with the weapons being used to bomb Gaza into dust (along with Lebanon, Syria and Iran, now), is happy to accept this fairy tale at face value.

It seems to me that there may be an ulterior motive behind this claim. What do you think?
