Footage to date fails to prove Gaza complex was nerve centre for attacks on Israel, as military had claimed
Why do people still give credibility to israel’s statements? They are caught lying almost daily and on all important things.
The same reason we are regurgitating state run media as indisputable fact on the al Jazeera side.
The vast majority of news outlets have evacuated, been murdered, or are waiting to avoid jumping the gun. Whereas the horrifically biased ones are putting out propaganda as fast as they can. And waiting for facts to shake out is boring…
Are those cans of WD40?
Those are real weapons. Hamas sprays those on the ground and makes the IDF slip around, complete with cartoon scooby-doo slipping noises.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
IDF videos have shown only modest collections of small arms, mostly assault rifles, recovered from the extensive medical complex.
That suggests an armed presence, but not the sort of elaborate nerve centre depicted in animated graphics presented to the media before al-Shifa was seized, portraying a network of well-equipped subterranean chambers.
This exception, spelled out in article 19 of the fourth Geneva convention, states specifically: “… the presence of small arms and ammunition taken from such combatants and not yet handed to the proper service, shall not be considered to be acts harmful to the enemy”.
“Israel has failed to provide anywhere even close to the level of evidence required to justify the narrow exception under which hospitals can be targeted under the laws of war,” said Mai El-Sadany, a human rights lawyer and the executive director of the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy, in Washington.
Countries such as the UK, Germany and most importantly, the US, have resisted calls for a ceasefire on the grounds that Israel’s actions constitute legitimate self-defence.
John Kirby, the White House national security spokesperson, framed the alleged Hamas facility there as a command “node” rather than a centre, and a possible weapons store.
The original article contains 755 words, the summary contains 200 words. Saved 74%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Probably not a command centre though who knows. A command tent usually just needs a sigs operation which you can pack and move.
Definitely militarized if you believe all the guns, explosives they found and the video of a guy firing a rocket launcher out front.
The guns and explosives they planted (we have already know) they tampered with the “Hamas command center”) before news crews were allowed inside), and the video of the rocket launcher guy walking in front of a different hospital. At this point all Israeli statements should be assumed as equivalent to “40 babies were beheaded by Hamas” and “we found a guard shift list under the hospital” until proven otherwise.
So now there’s literally video of armed Hamas terrorists walking hostages into Shifa Hospital.
Hamas primarily is pushing a propaganda war by causing a situation they knew would cause maximum suffering to their people. They could surrender anytime and release their hostages and end this messed up situation. People like you directly support their plan to cause suffering to the Palestinians.
Where else would you take prisoners that need medical attention?
Hah apparently the spin is they were taken to the hospital for humanitarian reasons. After all the rape and murder the kidnappers decided to take their hostages to the hospital for treatment clearly under duress. Yep such nice guys. Definitely what they’d do.
The video of the hostages being taken to the hospital for medical treatment way back in October? What does that have to do with the hospital currently?
