    “None of the five buildings highlighted by the IDF appear to connect to the tunnels, and no evidence has been produced showing that the tunnels could be accessed from inside the hospital wards, as Hagari had claimed.”

    It seems like the global consensus is that Al Shifa was not the Hamas nerve center that Israel claimed. I think the really relevant question is whether Israel actually believed that is was and had evidence to support that beleif. A lot of war is about misdirection. Was this Israel’s misdirection or someone else’s?

      It’s irrelevant now because the IDF has used it as an excuse to bomb other hospitals.

    In 2014 Amnesty International concluded the hospital was used for torture.

    Some were interrogated and tortured or otherwise ill-treated in a disused outpatient’s clinic within the grounds of Gaza City’s main al-Shifa hospital. At least three people arrested during the conflict accused of “collaboration” died in custody.

    Doesn’t justify the scale of military action targeting the hospital though.
