      Remember when the attacks happened and they “found” documents on one of the raiders bodies, conveniently labeled Top Secret and listing the names of target areas? And the stapled-together documents, which were supposedly printed out, reviewed multiple times by the attackers, carried into battle in mid-80s heat by someone carrying weapons and body armor (so very sweaty) for a couple miles, got into at least one firefight that ended with the raider dead, retrieved from the body by Israeli soldiers, reviewed by them, and then shown to an ever-so-convenient reporter who took pictures of these battle plans?
      Except that, for everything the “battle plans” had supposedly been through, there were no sstains on them. They weren’t even bent over where the staple was. The only ‘damage’ to the ‘plans’ were that one corner was slightly bent over.

        The problem was people trying to defend it in the comments, it was the most pathetic thing you could see.

        Imagine if the IDF put some actual work into their bullshitting campaigns. The boot licking would be devastating.

      Was going to say this. It’s a bit unfair to expect them to “find” anything they can’t carry in with them.

    In the next few days I fucking guarantee you that the usual Israeli propaganda mouthpieces all over the internet will point to the picture they released of a handful of guns and a Quran as proof that this was a “Hamas base” or “terrorist equipment” and the whole operation was a total success.

    Let us never forget that this wasn’t supposed to just be a “base” or a few guns and grenades, but a major headquarters or even a “center of gravity” for the whole organization. Their supposed world class intelligence concluded this and was happily supported by the US. And it was apparently fucking bullshit. So either a) they lied as an excuse to kill and terrorize civilians or b) their intelligence is actually a steaming pile of shit and they have no hope of actually destroying Hamas unless they actually drop that nuke the lunatic politician suggested a week or two ago.

    As always, looking forward to the comments about how this isn’t actually a war crime and it’s somehow all Hamas’ fault and Israel is just defending itself by launching an unjustified attack on a vital piece of civilian infrastructure.

    “Oopsie. Our bad. The base was probably in some other hospital. We’re going to bomb them all just to make sure.”

      As someone who remembers the “war on terror” and the search for WMDs, yes, this is how they do.

      A bunch of Onion-tier claims that are really just ticking a box to “authorize” whatever it is they wanted to do all along.

    They’ll just kick a knife and a laptop into the ICU, take a picture, and call it so.

    Just kidding, they’ll provide zero evidence because these psychos in the Israeli military actually think they shouldn’t have to justify bombing a hospital full of (using their words) “animals”

    The whole Hamas command base in a hospital narrative is pure nonsense. Do people just not understand that partisan resistance groups operate using independent cells precisely because having a central base of operations would create a central failure point for the whole organization?

    The missing military base and the absence of any Hamas defense of the hospital makes the IDF attack a war crime with zero justification.

      The IDF has been committing warcrimes non-stop. Could even argue they have been committing them for 75 years since the occupation began.

    The latest claim is that they have found a shaft leading underground. How much you want to bet it looks like an elevator shaft, if they even release any pictures of it…
