Ahmad Kahlot, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya, made his taped confession to the Israeli security service Shin Bet after his arrest during last week’s raid on the facility in northern Gaza.

I like the NYT, but foreign policy stories are generally not to be trusted, or so I've learned.
I know they support Hamas. I read somewhere that upwards of like 70% support their government.
To convince me that they are Hamas, and thus combatants and not civilians, needs more credible evidence, though.

In short, my problem isn't with what's being reported, but who is doing it.
