COGAT: Hamas delayed medical evacuation of more than 100 Gazans
COGAT says Hamas delayed the medical evacuation of more than 100 Gazans for over an hour, while Israel approved their exit for treatment abroad
Assessment
COGAT, the Israeli military body coordinating civilian affairs in Gaza, directly accuses Hamas of obstructing a medical evacuation for over an hour. This claim pits humanitarian access against operational control, with each side potentially seeking to shape public perception about responsibility for civilian suffering. The delay of more than 100 patients suggests a pattern where medical movements become bargaining chips.
