The Palestinian movement calls allegations regarding Kamal Adwan Hospital 'false and baseless,' saying they are being used to justify attacks on medical facilities.

Hamas has rejected Israeli claims that it used Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza for military purposes, following a deadly strike near the facility.
In a statement, the movement described the allegations as false and baseless, asserting that such claims are being used to justify attacks on medical facilities in Gaza. The hospital has been named in previous rounds of the conflict as a site of concern amid Israeli military operations in the territory.
Hospitals and other medical facilities in Gaza have repeatedly come under scrutiny during the conflict, with Israeli forces on multiple occasions alleging that Hamas and other armed groups use hospital grounds for military purposes, claims that Palestinian officials and hospital administrators have consistently denied.
International humanitarian law affords special protections to medical facilities during armed conflict, and allegations of military use of hospitals have been a recurring and contested issue throughout the Gaza war, with independent verification often difficult given access restrictions in the territory.
The dispute over the strike near Kamal Adwan Hospital adds to a long list of contested incidents involving medical infrastructure in Gaza, with both sides offering starkly different accounts of events on the ground.
