Israeli officials say inspectors uncovered oxygen concentrators for tunnels used by Palestinian terror groups inside truck carrying aid to Strip

Hamas tried to sneak its fighters out of the Gaza Strip in ambulances that evacuated dozens of wounded Palestinians to Egypt earlier this week, a senior Biden administration official said Friday.

Hamas had compiled a list of the seriously wounded that it wanted to evacuate from Gaza for treatment in Egypt, along with thousands of foreign nationals looking to flee the enclave.

The list was then vetted by Egypt and the United States, which found that a third of the names on it were of Hamas fighters, the administration official said, adding that the list was rejected and none of the 76 wounded Palestinians who were ultimately evacuated in ambulances out of Gaza were members of the terror group.

    Wounded soldiers are still wounded. The principle of hors de combat applies. If you’re wounded and in an ambulance, you’re a non-combatant and protected under the Geneva Conventions.

    Not that the IDF has actually read the Geneva Conventions…

        The departure list says they are wounded soldiers.

        They’re also going to Egypt lol (and there are already tunnels between Gaza and Egypt)
