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.
Oh so they just have a big list of every Hamas member and can vette them from name alone?
Ahmad Awad? Yeah, sorry bud, there’s a couple hundred of you on the list.
People have social security numbers, you know. It’s not some desert with camels where everyone is called Ahmad Awad.
Really shameful that the US is aiding and abetting genocide.

Par for the course. One group of violent European settlers defending another.

Maybe, I mean that would be exactly the sort of data I would expect my intelligence services to acquire. Especially in a place like Egypt that has suffered so much from the crimes of the Muslim Brotherhood.
