Israeli military says it has killed Hamas commander who was holding Gazans hostage at hospital
In a joint statement, the Israel Defense Forces and security agency Shin Bet (or ISA) said a Hamas commander, who was holding 1,000 Gaza civilians hostage at the Rantisi Hospital, had been killed.
“Based on precise IDF and ISA intelligence, and with the direction of IDF ground troops, IDF aircraft struck Ahmed Siam, a company commander of the Naser Radwan Company of the Hamas terrorist organization,” the statement said.
In an additional post on social media, IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said Siam had been preventing people from leaving the hospital complex to evacuate southward — as instructed by Israel’s military.
“Ahmed Siam demonstrates once again that Hamas uses the civilians of the Gaza Strip as human shields for terror purposes,” Hagari said. Hamas denies these claims.
以色列军方称已击毙在医院扣押加沙人人质的哈马斯指挥官
以色列国防军和安全机构辛贝特（ISA）在一份联合声明中表示，一名在兰蒂西医院扣押 1000 名加沙平民的哈马斯指挥官已被杀。
声明称：“根据以色列国防军和国际安全局的准确情报，并在以色列国防军地面部队的指挥下，以色列国防军飞机袭击了哈马斯恐怖组织纳赛尔·拉德万连连长艾哈迈德·西马。”
在社交媒体上的另一篇帖子中，以色列国防军发言人丹尼尔·哈加里表示，西马一直在阻止人们离开医院大楼向南撤离——按照以色列军方的发言人哈加里说：“艾哈迈德·西马再次表明哈马斯利用加沙地带的平民作为恐怖目的的人盾。”哈马斯否认这些说法。
