That makes no sense. Hamas wouldn't do that.

Israeli counterterrorism forces foiled an October 7-inspired terror attack overnight on Tuesday, targeting a cell hiding and planning the attack from the Ibn Sina hospital in Jenin, the West Bank.
According to a joint statement by the IDF, Israel Police's YAMAM counterterrorism forces, and the Shin Bet, Hamas terrorist Mohammad Jalamna was killed during the operation, along with two fellow terrorists who hid alongside him at the hospital.
27-year-old Jalamna, a resident of the Jenin refugee camp, held direct communications with Hamas leadership abroad. According to the statement, he was responsible for transferring weaponry and ammunition to Hamas terrorists across the West Bank for shooting attacks targeting Israelis.
The Israeli commando forces entered the hospital dressed as doctors and nurses, as seen in CCTV footage shared on social media.
Furthermore, Jalamna used the Jenin hospital as a secret base of operations as he was planning an infiltration attack akin to and inspired by the October 7 massacre, it added.
Along with Jalamneh, Mohammed and Basel Ghazawi, brothers and Palestinian terrorists, were also killed by Israeli forces. Mohammed was a terrorist operative of the Jenin battalions who was involved in numerous attacks including firing at IDF soldiers in the area in recent weeks, the IDF said.
Basel was a Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative involved in terror activities in the area.
The security forces stated that for a long time, a large number of wanted persons had been hiding in hospitals and were using them as a base for planning terror attacks and carrying them out, and that they believed that the hospitals would serve as protection against Israeli security forces.

One senior official stated, "There are no cities of refuge in the West Bank and there will not be - every terrorist should know this. The hand of the IDF and the security establishment will reach everyone."
US forces have been attacked by Iran's various terror proxy armies 160 times since 10/7.
Not that you heard much about it -- the media suppresses any story that reflects badly on the dying Democrat regime.
There have been at least 160 attacks on U.S. troops in the Middle East since mid-October, following this weekend's attack on a base in Jordan near the Syrian border that left three American soldiers dead and dozens of others injured, U.S. officials said.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin addressed Sunday's attack and vowed the U.S. would "take all necessary actions" to keep U.S. troops in the region safe.
"Let me start with my outrage and sorrow for the deaths of three brave U.S. troops in Jordan and for the other troops who were wounded," Austin said.
This asshole just returned to work yesterday. You will of course remember he kept his prostate surgery secret even though he would obviously not be able to execute his job as SecDef while under anesthesia. Then he experienced complications in surgery and was rushed to critical care.
Only after about 48 hours of that did he get around to notifying anyone that he was out of the office.
But he's a very private man.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was back in the office Monday, exactly four weeks after he was rushed to the hospital with complications from prostate cancer surgery that he kept from his colleagues -- and President Biden -- for days.
...
Secrecy appeared to be Austin's top priority, with an aide asking 911 operators to have the ambulance arrive without running its lights or sirens.
"We're trying to remain a little subtle," the aide added in the call.
Austin quietly transferred his authority to Deputy Secretary Kathleen Hicks on Jan. 2 -- without telling her or any of his other Pentagon colleagues of the reason behind it -- but failed to tell the White House that he had done so. That didn't happen until Jan. 4, when Biden was notified of Austin's hospitalization.
Back to the first article:
He added, "The president and I will not tolerate attack on U.S. forces. And we will take all necessary actions to defend the U.S. and our troops."
Everyone's shaking, Girth Vader.
Fox News' Jennifer Griffin reported Austin's return to the Pentagon on Monday. His first time working in-person since his prostate cancer surgery comes after Sunday's attack, which was the deadliest on U.S. forces since 2021. Griffin reported that Austin is "actively engaged" in talks regarding the U.S. response.
