The building, he said, was a “human shield” for Hamas’ intelligence, and the group uses such places to target fuel and kindergarten facilities in Israel.
He said that while Al Jazeera and AP were located in the building, “if you first say that this building was used by international media, then basically you are adopting the Hamas rhetoric.
“I would say the building was used for Hamas infrastructure”.
Is Israel going to publish proof backing up such claims?
“I think we will publish proof. All such attacks do not go ahead without legal confirmation. We didn’t want to kill anyone. We gave them a warning two hours in advance so that they can evacuate the building, and there were no casualties,” he said.
