A March 23, 2025, post on X from the Israel Defense Forces shows Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, which is reportedly being now used by Hamas as an interrogation center.

Hamas is using three hospitals in Gaza to interrogate political opponents, a new report says.

A senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, said that he’d “spent the past few weeks talking to humanitarians in Gaza, anti-Hamas activists, human rights organizers, feminists, widows, divorced women, desperate civilians, people in tents, civilians barely getting by, youngsters, and a diverse cross-section of Gaza’s professional class.”

“They have each referenced the use of Gaza’s hospitals by Hamas as interrogation centers, and how the terror group threatens its opponents with ‘rods in their legs’ if they dare open their mouths,” Alkhatib said. “They have described how Hamas has been breaking the legs of opponents, attacking tent occupants, kidnapping men, beating their mothers and sisters, and taking them to one of the three main hospitals: al-Shifa in Gaza City, Al Aqsa in Deir al-Balah, or Nasser in Khan Younis.”
