Looks more like a bunker buster blast hole than a fortified shaft uncovered by a bulldozer to me.

Not just me then. I feel like I keep hearing about this over and over like it were something new.

“in the area of the hospital underneath a shed"

So... not under the hospital? I don't get it.

[-] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 29 points 11 months ago

I think you get it

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 29 points 11 months ago

Beyond the door, intelligence suggested either the tunnel would split or there would be “a big room for command and control”, he added, saying troops would continue searching the area as there could be access shafts from nearby houses.

So Al Jazeera is now just reporting guesses what are we doing here

Piggybacking off of this comment:

It is vital that these questions are answered as Israel uses such so-called evidence as justification to target hospitals in its war on Gaza. The words chosen here are important.

~~I think they are simply reporting what the Israeli intelligence officials are saying, not specifically guessing themselves.~~ edit: oops

So far I have found their reporting to be mostly neutral while still ensuring they don't use the word "terrorists" and using the word "genocide".

They specifically called Oct. 7th a "cross-border attack" rather than a terrorist attack, as well as pointing out the insanely large amount of Palestinians killed during Israel's airstrikes and ground invasion.

I didn't say they were guessing I said they were reporting guessing. Israeli intelligence had no idea what was behind the door until they opened it.

Ohhh my mistake. Misinterpreted. Then yes, you are correct

Totally a valid reason to bomb hospitals and snipe people inside them.

[-] Buchenstr@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago
