18 Gaza health workers later identified as Hamas, Islamic Jihad operatives: report
At least 18 Gaza health care workers previously identified as doctors, nurses, paramedics or hospital staff have since been identified by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as members of their armed wings, The Times of Israel reported Monday.
The findings, the outlet said, were based on obituaries published following the Gaza war.
Among those named was Mohammed Akram al-Kafarna, who was mourned by international nursing organizations after being killed in an Israeli strike in September 2025.
Hamas later identified al-Kafarna as a fighter in its Northern Gaza Brigade and published a photo of him in military uniform carrying a rifle, according to the report.
Israel has long accused Hamas of embedding fighters in hospitals and other civilian infrastructure, the outlet said.
