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.

      Documentation? Pictures from inside the base? A third party source that has no bias in the situation (heh, good luck) providing conclusive testimony? Literally anything other than an overhead shot that’s labeled with “We swear there’s hamas here, guys, c’mon let us bomb more civilians!”

        And how do you do any of that without attacking and taking over the place? I got the impression that they hadn’t taken it over yet so photos from far away were the best it is going to get.

          “We’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!”

          One of the most advanced militaries in the world and they can’t figure out anything better?

            My point was that it’s really hard to convincingly prove something like that. Guns? Well could be planted. Armed people going in and out? Well those could be anyone! Some even took seriously my suggestion that perhaps they should film them walking around with Hamas flags flashing their Hamas ID cards, but that would be so ridiculous that it would be suspicious because of that.

            Definitively proving something like that, yeah good luck.

          Potentially. It’s certainly a lot better than an unpopulated, dingy basement and the promise that “it’s a bad guy’s lair!” from the very same people who blew up the hospital right above it.

          All Israeli soldiers have six pointed stars on their uniforms. Just show combatants that don’t have one.

            Videos released by Hamas show ppl in civilian clothing launch Mortars to Israeli territories, so can’t really rely on uniforms.
