Oh, here's more evidence that Hamas used hospitals

JTA has a story about a video that was found of six doomed hostages lighting Chanukah candles in a Hamas tunnel in 2023:

Two months after they were taken hostage, and eight months before they would be murdered, the Israelis who would later be known as the “Beautiful Six” were herded into a new section of the Hamas tunnel where they had been held.

There, their captors took hours of video of the young adults as they lit a makeshift menorah, sang traditional Hanukkah songs and, after being prompted, offered holiday greetings to the camera.

“Where are the sufganiyot?” asked Eden Yerushalmi.

“We’re waiting for Roladin in the land [of Israel],” joked Hersh Goldberg-Polin, referring to one of the most prominent purveyors of Hanukkah donuts in Israel.

The other hostages — Ori Danino, Almog Sarusi, Alex Lubanov and Carmel Gat — sit with their fellow captives. Sarusi appears visibly distressed as he makes the blessing over the candles, and the cameraman captures wrenching comments as the six young adults sing the song “Maoz Tzur.”

These six were murdered on August 29, 2024.

But where did the video come from?

The IDF said the video was recovered about three months ago during a raid on the European Hospital in Khan Younis, where senior Hamas figure Mohammad Sinwar was also found and killed.

Oh, so Hamas really did use hospitals as shields.

Funny, I haven't seen a word about this from Amnesty or Human Rights Watch. And also not a word from Doctors Without Borders or Physicians for Human Rights.

You would think they would be very upset at military use of hospitals, wouldn't you?
