The Israel Defense Forces sent troops into Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis based on intelligence that hostages were held there, but army spokesman Daniel Hagari said that as of Thursday evening no evidence had been found to that effect.

The army believes that the hospital was home to key command centers and underground infrastructure. Engineering personnel are now working to locate shafts and tunnels under the complex. In particular, it is searching for command centers that senior Hamas officials worked out of on October 7 or in previous wars.

The Israeli military claims that Hamas uses hospitals in Gaza for military operations, but medical staff have repeatedly denied the allegation. Instead, doctors have been consumed with trying to treat patients while both medical supplies and food dwindle. On Sunday, the director of the World Health Organization said that a request to enter Nasser Hospital was denied by the Israelis.

Either Israel has literally the worst intelligence agency in the world OR they are purposefully lying to justify destroying the necessities of life in Gaza as part of a campaign of genocide. Oh wow I wonder which one it could be what a mystery omg this conflict is so complicated

On one hand you have Palestinians claiming things with video evidence and then you have ZIonists debunking their claims by lying about literally everything. It's impossible to know who to trust. This is a very complicated conflict.

Wasn't Israel historically famous for having the best intelligence service of any nation? Didn't they brag about how much better they were than the CIA?

I believe the original post was sarcastic. It is pretty obvious that by now, all of Israel's hit on critical infrastructure is blamed on Hamas with Israel failing to provide enough evidence for any of it.

It was, but they still used to do that.
