Hamas leaders hiding in basement of Israel-built hospital in Gaza

Senior Hamas officials in Gaza are hiding out in a "bunker" built by Israel, intelligence officials suspect: Many are believed to be in the basements of the Shifa Hospital complex in Gaza City, which was refurbished during Israel's occupation of the Gaza Strip.

Shifa, the coastal strip's largest hospital, was built while Gaza was under Egyptian rule, before 1967.

During the mid-1980s the building underwent massive refurbishment as part of a showcase project to improve the living conditions of residents.

Millions were invested in the project, which was overseen by Shmuel Goren, the coordinator for activities in the territories at the time.

The Israeli civil administration in the territories constructed the hospital complex's Building Number 2, which has a large cement basement that housed the hospital's laundry and various administrative services.

During a cabinet meeting a week ago, Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin said senior Hamas officials found refuge in the hospital basement because they know Israel would not target it, due to the patients in the upper floors. Palestinian sources told Haaretz that not all the senior Hamas leaders are hiding in one place.

Rather, they have spread out, and some are constantly changing locations. Some of the bunkers they are using were linked by tunnels Hamas built in recent years.

Hook Nose possessed an elaborate warbonnet that he believed gave him special powers. The medicine man Ice, later known as White Bull, made the warbonnet and assured Hook Nose he would be impervious to the white man's bullets as long as he followed certain conditions. Hook Nose could not shake hands in the way of the white man, nor could he eat food that had been touched with any iron implement. Ice told Hook Nose that should he violate either of these conditions, he would surely be killed in battle.

Several days prior to the Battle of Beecher Island, Hook Nose visited the nearby Sioux camp, where he participated in a feast. During the feast, he ate some fry bread. However, the woman who cooked the bread used an iron fork to remove it from the cooking pan, which violated one of the conditions of his medicine.

As he left for battle, he was made aware of this fact, but he did not have the time to perform the necessary cleansing ceremony to restore his medicine. Because of this, he did not participate in the fighting as he normally would, preferring to watch the battle from afar. During the battle, he was chastised by an elderly warrior named White Contrary for his lack of participation, and thus decided to enter the battle after all, knowing that he would die. After donning his war clothes, including his war bonnet, he led an assault on the island. He was shot at close range during the attack and died late that afternoon, near sunset.

The names of the fifty-two men, with the exception of Curry, are on the monument.

When I first discovered the omission it occurred to me that it was done on purpose. Curry was what they called, "Wild and Woolly." He became an outlaw, he was a degenerate; to see men struggle and die delighted his soul. He was a railroad engineer by profession. One of his pastimes was to shoot men from the cab of his engine just to see them jump. It is said he killed three men and wounded others in that way. He killed several at Hays and other points while he lived in Kansas. No one loved him and all seemed to fear him. He left Kansas about 1870 and the next we hear of him he had a run on the International and Great Northern in Texas. He was known down there as a drunkard, gambler and desperado.

He attended a vaudeville show one night at Palestine, Texas. One of the actors cracked a joke from the stage, using the name of Jim Curry. This offended Curry, who met the actor, John Barrimore, after the show, and killed him.

Curry was tried for this but acquitted on some technicality. At one time the railroad tried the experiment of using colored men for firemen. Curry announced that if they ever sent a "nigger" out with him, he would kill him. Sure enough, a "nigger" was sent. Curry killed him, then put the body in the fire box of the engine, and consumed it. He boasted of this but was never arrested for it. Killing negroes was not considered criminal in Texas at that time. He was afterward killed in a railroad wreck at Troupel, Texas, and buried at Tyler, Texas.
