Dozens of bodies are found and al-Shifa is "completely out of service", Hamas-run authorities say.

Israel’s military has pulled out of al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City after a two-week raid that has left most of the major medical complex in ruins.

Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said dozens of bodies had been found and locals said nearby areas were razed.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had killed 200 “terrorists”, detained hundreds more and found weapons and intelligence “throughout the hospital”.

Good on the BBC for putting the word terrorist in quotes there.

Because most of them were certainly not Hamas, if any of them were.

An IDF spokesman said more than 6,000 people had been in the hospital complex, mostly civilians, at the start of the raid.

6000 people. Who knows how many of those were patients? Who knows how many died not directly from the IDF, but from whatever they were in the hospital for in the first place that they could have been cured of if the hospital was allowed to stay?

But congratulations, IDF. Mission accomplished. I’m sure you destroyed Hamas forever.

    Because the other option is believing the baseless fiction you’re making up. I know which one I would choose.

      You’re still unable to explain why the IDF should be believed.

      All you can do is make personal attacks.

      I’m not sure why you think that does anything other than make you look like you can’t actually defend the idea that the IDF is telling the truth (which would make my claim correct).

        You keep ignoring any of my answers that are inconvenient to you. That’s the same logic you apply to the IDF. If you ignore inconvenient facts and focus only on the stuff convenient to you, then yeah you’ll have a problem trusting what the IDF says. If you instead stop ignoring inconvenient facts, then suddenly their info is more believable.

        For example, how my original comment was about how you inserted your own emotions into a news article, but you instead chose to ignore that and pivot to how to trust the IDF. You then made it your mission to focus on that and make that the only topic of conversation.

          Which facts in specific am I ignoring? Please state them.

            Oh, how about most of that comment that specifically gave an example.

              I’m not seeing anything in your comment that is a fact I am ignoring. Please quote the fact.

                Funny, you asked for an example, yet missed the word “example” in my comment. Here you go, I’ll quote it again:

                  Yes, I read what you wrote. I asked you what facts I ignored.
