    To store munitions? That’s what bunkers are for. Or do you think Israel wouldn’t store munitions in Gaza?

      No, bunkers are actually for people to survive airstrikes and shelling. It even makes sense having one near a hospital, because sick people can’t go fast when the sirens go off. Usually responsible governments build bunkers for their citizens when there is a chance of war. Military sometimes has command bunkers, but they are not for and not near civillians.

        So Israel did not use bunkers to store weapons but Hamas did. Seems a little propagandistic to me.

          idk I’m someone else. … but I think hamas is very stupid, so it appears plausible to me they used a perfectly good bunker to store wapons instead of sheltering people. Not sure if they really did tho.

          Well the crux here is that it’s not a bunker but a basement. Of course the Israeli government likes the translation into ‘bunker’ a little bit better

      Why would they do it under hospital? I understand the ugly logic of Hamas doing this, but Israel would not make any sense. There was no reporting of them doing that, ever.
