For some people, every accusation they throw is a confession.

Well, at least Israel made the sure the Hospital was a Terrorist Base, it's just that they did it after they took over rather than before.

Imagine how many tunnels they have.

Not to be pedantic, but attention to detail is important in this world of mis- and disinformation. It reduces credibility and distracts from the point being made, if the details are incorrect.

Those are not tanks, no turrets and barrels. Those are wheeled vehicles, looking at the tracks in the dirt.

Edit: those are Eitan armored personnel carriers. Notice the "Sponsons" on the back of it matches the sat image

Good catch. My mistake for interpreting vehicles as tanks here. Corrected.

[–] Dasus 6 points 4 days ago

Well, they both still belong to the category "heavily armoured military vehicles", so I think everyone understood what you meant with "tank", even when some of these heavily armoured military vehicles aren't mainly for offensive action and don't move with tracks.

For invasion purposes, wheeled personnel transport is probably scarier than a tracked tank.

A tracked tank will go over most things and have firepower sure.

But if I had to take over an enemy position and got to choose either a personnel carrier's worth of infantry or one tank, I'd take the infantry. Much harder to kill an entire team than completely disable a tank.

What does it mean that it's an Indonesian hospital? Is that just it's name?

[–] RunawayFixer 49 points 5 days ago

Indonesia Hospital is the name and it's named that way because it was sponsored by the Indonesian people.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia_Hospital

Construction of the hospital began in 2011 on 16,000 square meters of land donated by the government of Gaza.[3][1] The project cost IDR 126 billion and was funded by donations from Indonesian people and organizations such as the Indonesian Red Cross Society and Muhammadiyah, collected through the Indonesian humanitarian organization Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MER-C).[4][5] Then-Indonesian Vice-president Jusuf Kalla inaugurated the hospital on 9 January 2016.[3]

Yes just the name. Because Indonesia sponsored it. I will change the title for clarity.

This way the IDF can say "See? we don't bomb hospitals"
