Stop blaming Israel – Nasser Hospital is a terror base

• In December 2024, the PA reported that Hamas was using Nasser Hospital as an interrogation center

• In April 2025, Nasser Hospital's director of Nursing Services was threatened by Islamic Jihad if he didn't cooperate

The condemnations pouring in over Israel's strike on Nasser Hospital yesterday are built on a false premise. The hospital is not a neutral medical facility. It has long since been hijacked by terrorists.

As previously reported by Palestinian Media Watch, Hamas turned Nasser Hospital into a center for interrogations and coercion. In October 2024, as admitted by the Palestinian Authority itself on Facebook, Hamas was summoning Gazans to Nasser Hospital for interrogations by its military intelligence. Shadi Subhi Al-Suweiti was ordered in the summons shown below "under the law of the State of Palestine and in accordance with our vested authority" to "report to Premises: Nasser Medical Center."

In a Telegram post in April 2025 shown below, the hospital's director of Nursing Services showed a note in which he was "threatened blatantly" by Islamic Jihad for trying to prevent the organization from entrenching itself there: "Sweetie: You crossed the line – just wait! This is the first message. Al-Quds Brigades."

While Israel's Prime Minister's Bureau issued a statement of regret over the incident, that just underscores how deeply Israel cares about avoiding civilian casualties. The prime minister's statement was made in spite of the fact that the hospital had served as a headquarters for terrorism. The real blame ultimately lies with the terrorists who deliberately embed themselves among civilians and inside the hospital.

Therefore, instead of libeling Israel, those who seek to protect Nasser Hospital should pressure the terrorists to stop using hospitals as a base of war.
