Hamas tried to sneak its fighters out of the Gaza Strip in ambulances that evacuated dozens of wounded Palestinians to Egypt earlier this week, a senior Biden administration official said Friday.

Hamas had compiled a list of the seriously wounded that it wanted to evacuate from Gaza for treatment in Egypt, along with thousands of foreign nationals looking to flee the enclave.

The list was then vetted by Egypt and the United States, which found that a third of the names on it were of Hamas fighters, the administration official said, adding that the list was rejected and none of the 76 wounded Palestinians who were ultimately evacuated in ambulances out of Gaza were members of the terror group.

Also allowing a war crime (using ambulances to transport fighters and/or arms) and defending it like this emboldens them to continue doing it to the detriment of civilians since they won't face consequences.

So, blow up buildings that MIGHT have actual terrorists but also DEFINITELY have civilians is the better course of action?

Israel is already breaking international law and committing war crimes in Gaza, so what's a few more?

Arresting someone without bombing the 50 civilians nearby them is allowing a war crime?

What brand of glue do you eat?

The kind that has a degree from a top university in engineering.

Oh damn, you better not name that university. You would single handedly tank the value of their degrees and their glue
