Hamas’ war on Israel has put in a bull’s-eye not only Israeli civilians, hundreds of whom were killed on that day of atrocities on Oct 7.

Also in the cross-hairs are Palestinian children who live in neighborhoods where Hamas arsenals are placed and people who have been shot and killed while trying to evacuate before Israeli military movements.

It’s because Hamas uses civilians, even its own, as shields for its weaponry.

And now the agenda has moved to an extreme, with civilians in hospitals part of the warfare.

It’s that Hamas has refused a humanitarian delivery of fuel to a hospital.

The Jerusalem Post has posted online recordings of conversations revealing the agenda.

The report said Israeli security forces delivered 300 liters of diesel fuel to Shifa Hospital in Gaza, but later got word Hamas terrorists had intercepted it.

Meanwhile, Hamas criticized Israel, with, “The offer [300 liters of fuel] belittles the pain and suffering of the patients who are trapped inside without water, food, or electricity. This quantity is not enough to operate hospital generators for more than thirty minutes.”

Hamas also claimed that the hospital is run by the Palestinian health ministry, not the terror organization.

The Post report noted the IDF recordings of the event reveal an exchange between someone with the Coordination and Liaison Administration (CLA), which administers civilian policy regarding the Israeli government’s activity in the Gaza Strip, and an official from Shifa Hospital.

The plan was for fuel to be delivered by the CLA, then its workers would “move back so that they won’t be next to the junction” and the hospital could retrieve the fuel.

Then a video showed IDF soldiers delivering the fuel, and the last recording was a conversation between a health official in Gaza and the IDF, during which the health official explained Yusef Abu Rish, director general of Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, refused permission for the hospital to get the fuel.

The IDF has volunteered to help evacuate babies from the hospital, and Israeli forces have told everyone to leave, as Hamas has a command center under and around the facility.

Estimates say about 500 patients remain.

WND previously reported on a video that documented the deaths of Gaza civilians who apparently were heeding Israeli warnings to evacuate.

The video was aired on a recent podcast by Amir Tsarfati, a respected Israeli commentator and former IDF officer who converted to Christianity.

The video, with the images of the slain appearing starting at about the 5:00 mark:

Tsarfati said Israel which is trying to eliminate the threat from the terrorists of Hamas, who are headquartered there.

When people responded to warnings to evacuate, Tsarfati said, Hamas began “using their own people as human shields. If they move, then they shoot to kill.”

He said the video was provided of “one of the roads” that evacuees were trying to use.

“Take a look at what happened to those who tried to leave northern Gaza down south, and Hamas saw them,” he said.

The video shows bodies strewn along a road.

WND also previously had documented reports that Hamas was killing its own citizens if they tried to leave areas where they served as human shields.

That report noted Hamas was preventing people from evacuating.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Shortly after Hamas terrorists fired over 5,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel on Oct. 7 and then proceeded to attack the Jewish state by land, sea and air – torturing, burning, beheading and murdering well over a thousand people, including women, children and infants, and wounding and abducting hundreds more – world reaction was, in its own way, almost equally shocking.

For after the biggest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust, what followed was an outpouring of celebratory demonstrations, unbridled Jew-hatred, deliriously gleeful support for Hamas and bitter condemnation of the nation of Israel. Not just in the Arab-Muslim world, but throughout the Western world as well, including all across America.

Why? What is behind the explosion of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, pro-terror sentiment in the United States, where Israel has long been one of America’s closest friends and allies? Why are hordes of young “woke” LGBT demonstrators marching in support of Hamas – when Hamas wouldn’t think twice about binding and blindfolding them and throwing them off the roof of a tall building – as they routinely do in the Muslim world?

It turns out there’s one area of agreement that is so powerful, deep-seated and all-consuming that the vast differences between the deranged left and the murderous jihadists melt away into Kumbaya harmony.

All of this and much more is completely exposed in November’s issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled ISRAEL VS. GLOBAL JIHAD: How Jew-hatred, radical Islam and Leftism are pushing us toward World War III. Beyond a deeply insightful dive into why leftists are surging toward radical Islam – which hates and dreams of raping and butchering them – this Whistleblower issue includes fantastic articles by everyone from top Israeli analyst (and former Israel Defense Forces officer) Caroline Glick to Harvest Christian Fellowship’s Pastor Greg Laurie on the current war in Israel and biblical prophecies regarding the End Times … which he says are now upon us.

WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
