Hamas attempted to transport its fighters out of Gaza in ambulances, which were carrying dozens of injured Palestinians to Egypt earlier this week, according to a senior official from the Biden administration, as reported in the media.
Hamas had created a list of seriously wounded individuals it wished to evacuate from Gaza for treatment in Egypt, in addition to thousands of foreign nationals seeking to leave Gaza, as stated by the Times of Israel.
This list underwent scrutiny by both Egypt and the United States, revealing that a third of the names on it belonged to Hamas fighters. Consequently, the list was rejected, and none of the 76 injured Palestinians who were ultimately evacuated in ambulances from Gaza were affiliated with the Hamas group.
In the same period, Israeli inspectors uncovered several oxygen concentrators intended for ventilating tunnels used by armed groups in Gaza. These oxygen concentrators were found among boxes of cookies and were not intended for hospital use. The entire truck carrying them was denied entry into Gaza, as reported by the Times of Israel.
