      Clearly they didn’t till the soil first. Can it really be planting?

      Why can’t that be an additional gun they found? Maybe it was rearranged for camera? The BBC segment did not make any hard claims just that the evidence was suspect. You can draw your own conclusions but you can’t say the BBC outright made this claim. Don’t trust the IDF blindly, but I have to approach reporting on the conflict this way to stay sane. Too many people spewing nonsense, misinformation, and propaganda (not u specifically).

          Exactly. We only know they aren’t being fully forthcoming. We don’t know the reasons and can only infer. The BBC stopped short of drawing conclusions and merely fact checked the statements they were given. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
