We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

A US official with knowledge of American intelligence says Hamas has a command center under the Al-Shifa hospital, uses fuel intended for it and its fighters regularly cluster in and around Gaza’s largest hospital.

"CIA declined to comment. CNN has not seen the intelligence cited by the US official. "

PICS or GTFO

I'm not understanding your comment. That's probably my fault. My comment was intended as a flippant/sarcastic way of saying, "I need more info before I fully believe that Hamas has a 'base' under that particular hospital".

I'm not saying it's a straight up lie. Just, that's a a statement with no solid evidence, so "get outta here with that".

Sincerely, what was "Is that better?" In response to? I communicated badly so I'm lost.

I see a picture, I'm on kbin. It looks like an overhead shot of the hospital with red boxes indicating "This is a Hamas control station".

That's just a picture with a bunch of buildings highlighted. I don't see how that's proof of anything.

Like that "tunnel entrance" the IDF showed off the other day that was just a water resevoir.

Must be a Fediverse thing. No pic on my end.

Let's just say for arguments sake that it's true. Would that justify idk an air strike on an active hospital? Is that how hostage negotiations are handled? Bomb the bank and be like well the robbers were holed up in the safe underground so really it's their fault we blew all the tellers into a fine bloody mist.

Let's just say that this further proves how hamas using civillian infrastructure as a living shield is an intended thing, if not strategy.

[–] Saxoboneless 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That in no way exonerates or justifies those who are killing patients in an active hospital.

[–] rdri 1 points 1 year ago

In a way it does. It would be vastly different if Israel would bomb everything while hamas would care about their fellow citizens.

Incoming Hospital Buster Bomb?
