The White House said on Tuesday that the Hamas terrorist group has a command node beneath Gaza’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa, where weapons are stored, calling the terrorist group’s action “a war crime.”

“We have information that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad use some hospitals in the Gaza Strip, including Al-Shifa, and tunnels underneath them to conceal and support their military operations,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters aboard Air Force One.
