Moment Israeli commandos dressed as Muslim women and doctors storm West Bank hospital, killing 3 terrorists in 10 minutes
This is the moment heavily armed Israeli commandos disguised as Muslim women and doctors raided a West Bank hospital early Tuesday — shooting three suspected terrorists dead in just 10 minutes.
The dramatic surveillance video from Ibn Sina hospital in the town of Jenin shows about a dozen Israeli undercover special forces soldiers dressed as Muslim women in hea🌟dscarve🅘s or hospital workers in scrubs or white doctor coats rushing through a hallway with assault rifles drawn.
One of the Isr🦄aeli soldiers is in a surgical mask and carrying a rifle in one arm and a folded wheelchair in the other.
Another,🐬 dressed in all black, pats down a man kneeling against a wall wi☂th his hands clasped behind his head.
Other graphic images released by Palestinian news media showed a blood-soaked pillow with a bullet hole on a hospita🤪l bed and a foldout armchair covered with blood.
The Israeli military said the trio of Palestinians fatally shot during the raid were using the hospital as a hideout — and that one of them was a Hamas member who had smuggled weapons and ammunition to others for a future terrorist attack “inspired by the Oct. 7 massacre.”
Hamas an🐷d fellow terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, whose members were killed, vowed swift ♏revenge.
“Blood will be met with blood,” Hamas said in a statement.
The PIJ ad🌸ded that it would “not let this crime pass without an apprꦏopriate response.”
Hospital officials c💛laimed the Israeli undercover forces broke into the medical complex around 5:30 a.m. local time, headed to the third floor and killed the three men with silenced pistols💯.
“They executed the three men as they slept in the room. They executed them in cold blood by firing bullets directly into their heads inside the room where they were being treated,” said Niji Nazzal, the hospital’s medical director.
One of those killed was identified as 27-year-old Mo༺hammed Jalamneh, who the Israeli military said was planning the imminent attack.
Hamas confirmed that Jalamneh was a member of the group and decried his killing as a “cowardly assassination.”
The two others, brothers Basel and Mohammed Ghazawi, were hiding i💞nside the hospital and were involved in past terror attacks, Israel claimed.
The Israeli military did not provide details on how the three were killed. Its statement said Jalamneh was armed with a pistol, but there wa🧸s no mention of a gun battle𓂃. The entire operation was said to have taken about 10 minutes.
“There was a special level of urgency because [another terror attack] was on the verge of being carried out – this made the situation exceptional,” , a former longtime top official with Israel’s version of the FBI, or Shin Bet, to the Jerusalem Post.
“A hospital is a very hard area to maneuver in. You need intelligence that allows you to strike the target without hitting innocent persons. You can’t just fire a missile, not even a precision one which might just hit his room,” he said, noting the casualties that could result from a rocket.
“You want a narrow and targeted operation where your forces get quickly to the specific room for surgically removing the threat,”Hanan said.
The fact that the Israeli commandos “h🌠ad no collateral damage, no harm to patien🉐ts, medical staff, nor to any innocents – was a high aspirational standard,” he said.
Ghazzawi was in the hospital for treatment afte𒈔r being paralyzed from the waist down when he was wounded by shrapnel during a clash between Israeli forc♈es and Palestinians in late October, according to hospital sources.
Ghazzawiও was wheelchair-bound, having loᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚst the use of his legs, and his brother Mohammad was staying with him to help out, hospital sources said.
The PIJ claimed the two brothers as its members.
Ibn Sina Ho🌊spital rep Tawfiq al-Shobaki alleged that the Israel𒁏i squad attacked doctors, nurses and hospital security during the operation.
“What💎 happened is a precedent,” he said. “There was never an assassination inside a hospital. There were arrests and assaults, but not an assassination.”
Palestinian Health Minister Mai Alkaila denounced the incident as a war crime and urged the United Nations and international rights groups to crack down on such actions by th💎e Israeli military.
