In the aftermath of the horrendous Hamas terror attack on October 7, Israel found itself compelled to take firm action to protect our citizens and eliminate the lethal threat from the Gaza Strip. The ongoing military operations are driven by a commitment to free our kidnapped babies, eliminate Hamas terrorism, destroy its murderous capabilities, and ensure the safety and security of Israeli civilians.

Even in the middle of conflict, Israel remains committed to upholding humanitarian values; A daily humanitarian corridor is carefully maintained, allowing for the safe passage of Gaza residents to the southern regions. Hospitals in Gaza are provided with secure evacuation routes, and efforts are underway to facilitate the transfer of essential humanitarian aid to those in need. However, the difficult reality persists: Hamas continues to withhold humanitarian rights from the kidnapped, obstructing access to medical treatment. Furthermore, the terror group manipulates the movement of Gaza’s residents, using them as human shields, a reprehensible tactic that intensifies the complexities of the situation.

Of critical concern is Hamas’s blatant exploitation of civilian infrastructure for military purposes, including hospitals, medical institutions, and ambulances.
