In the language of a 17th-century pirate, as the Israeli military continues its week-long operation battling hundreds of terrorists holed up inside Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical center in Gaza, the United Nations agency charged with promoting — and protecting — access to health care worldwide has stayed silent, refraining from condemning the cynical use of a hospital by Palestinian terror groups.Repeated requests for a comment from the World Health Organization by Fox News Digital were ignored this week, even as the Israel Defense Forces continued to engage with fighters from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, both U.S.-designated terror organizations, who barricaded themselves inside the hospital’s maternity ward and emergency room and other places in the expansive center in Gaza City.Yaar, who serves as the CEO of Commanders for Israeli Security, an organization of some 550 ex-senior security people, said Hamas specifically utilizes hospitals for its military activity "because they believe that Israel will not dare to send its troops into these sites."Early on in its war against the Iranian-backed terrorist groups, Israel drew sharp international criticism for allowing its troops to enter Al-Shifa Hospital as they searched for terrorists and underground bunkers used by the Hamas fighters.Israeli forces subsequently withdrew from the area but left the medical campus, which includes multiple health care clinics and offices, largely intact and able to function, allowing it to serve the thousands of Gazan civilians who remained inside the war zone despite Israeli calls for them to evacuate the area.Yaar also said the World Health Organization was likely aware of Hamas’ terror activities inside the medical center.In a briefing with journalists earlier this week, Israeli army spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said troops had killed around 170 terrorists and arrested more than 500 during an intensive weeklong operation at the hospital.He said those who surrendered — or were captured by Israel — admitted to using the hospital, saying that not only was it considered a safe zone, but it was attractive because there was still electricity, water, and food. Hagari said there were still some terrorists barricaded inside the hospital and engaged in fighting Israeli forces."This is the first time Israel is operating with such extent and significance within hospitals in Gaza. It is definitely different from previous rounds or conflicts," Mimran said, adding that the IDF was attempting to operate in a respectful way.
