In the same statement, he also calls El-Sisi president of Mexico. This comes also after he said that Hamas’ response to the deal was “over the top” two days ago. Not sure if what he even said today has any bearing at all considering it’s safe to assume that he doesn’t know which country is which. What’s ironic is that just before that he said “my memory is good”.

Who says it wasn’t civilians?

Hamas and Islamic Jihad themselves, or are they too just Israeli hasbara?

“Hamas confirmed that Jalamneh was one of its members. The Jenin Brigade, which includes a number of Palestinian armed resistance groups, said in a statement that two of the three men were members of Islamic Jihad.”

This is three terrorists.

One being a Hamas commander and the other two being members of Islamic Jihad, also a terrorist organization. At least one of them had a gun with him.

The IDF’s claim is that the three were involved in a transfer of weapons and were planning another Oct 7th style terrorist attack.

Now if we dismiss IDF’s claim as “propaganda”, sure one can say “boo Israel bad, perfidy!!” but Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists hiding as civilian patients in a hospital is pure moral bankruptcy no matter whether the above accusations are true or false, because they know fully well that their presence is endangering every other patient there.

That said, I’d also have preferred if the IDF detained them for questioning instead, they could have extract so much valuable intel on the hostages and the tunnels instead.

Also important to add: only the bedding got damaged and not a single civilian was harmed in the whole operation.

I agree I’d also have preferred if they used the more accurate word “terrorists” instead but yes, Hamas and Islamic Jihad confirmed it (source: AlJazeera article):
