Hamas trying to sneak injured fighters out among civilian evacuees: US official
- Hamas attempted to covertly evacuate injured militants from the Gaza Strip by including them on evacuation lists alongside injured Palestinian civilians. This action hindered the evacuation process for foreign nationals and delayed their safe passage.
- Israeli forces facilitated a three-hour evacuation window, allowing Palestinians access to a key highway in the Gaza Strip. During this time, efforts were made to ensure that refugees were directed away from areas of armed conflict between the Israeli Defense Forces and Hamas. No injuries were reported among the Israeli Defense Forces.
- The decision to allow wounded Palestinian civilians who were not Hamas fighters to leave with foreign nationals had to be negotiated with Hamas after it was discovered that many of the injured individuals on the evacuation lists were actually members of Hamas. This incident reveals the exploitation of the Gazan population by Hamas, further endangering the safety of civilians caught in the middle of the conflict.
