JaFaJ INTELLIGENCE November 13, 2023
1.JaFaJ has learned from a senior Israeli military source that the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has been able to identify twenty different hospitals in Gaza which Hamas has been using as shields with tunnel military units underneath and also as holding centers for more and estimated 250 Israeli hostages.
2. According to the Israeli source, Hamas has separated hostages into several categories: men of fighting age (mostly Israeli soldiers), and women and children. A third category consists of foreign and dual national Israelis who hold Western passport(s). The source reported that, “Hamas broke down all three categories into groups of less than ten individuals distributed them in the tunnels under twenty different hospitals.”
3. An American intelligence-connected source has reported to JaFaJ that the Israelis claims are true. “By placing hostages in tunnels under hospitals, Hamas secures itself twice, because the Israelis do not want to kill their own hostages, nor do they want to be called the ones who attack hospitals”.
It all sounds logical. If I were Hamas, I’d probably do exactly that. All this means that the destruction of Gaza will continue, with the population being convinced, at some point in time, to move back north. It is quite likely that hostages are being held in the southern part of the strip too.
