Why Checkpoints Stop Ambulances

If anyone still wonders why the Israeli army stops Palestinian ambulances at checkpoints, look no further than this JPost article.

Rashed Tarek al-Nimr, a cousin of PLO executive head Farouk Kadoumi, who worked as a chemist in hospitals in Nablus and Bethlehem, supplied chemicals he took from the hospitals to Hamas for use in making bombs. He told the Shin Bet he used ambulances to transport the chemicals.

He also said that senior Hamas commanders hide inside hospitals to evade capture.
