Hamas terror leader admits they hide their military bases among civilians

Hamas terror leader Yahya Al-Sinwar: “Regarding the [Hamas] military and security bases that are located among civilian residents [in the Gaza Strip], this was a serious problem in the previous stages, and we and the resistance factions made efforts to carry out an operation of gradual movement and transfer of a large number of these bases from among the civilian residents, and we succeeded in carrying out a large portion of it. But there is still a portion that needs to be transferred, and Allah willing this operation will continue… We made sure to transfer a large portion of the bases, especially those that are in multistory buildings and in residential buildings and the like.”
