A US official with knowledge of American intelligence says Hamas has a command center under the Al-Shifa hospital, uses fuel intended for it and its fighters regularly cluster in and around Gaza’s largest hospital.

    "CIA declined to comment. CNN has not seen the intelligence cited by the US official. "

    PICS or GTFO

        I’m not understanding your comment. That’s probably my fault. My comment was intended as a flippant/sarcastic way of saying, “I need more info before I fully believe that Hamas has a ‘base’ under that particular hospital”.

        I’m not saying it’s a straight up lie. Just, that’s a a statement with no solid evidence, so “get outta here with that”.

        Sincerely, what was “Is that better?” In response to? I communicated badly so I’m lost.

            That’s just a picture with a bunch of buildings highlighted. I don’t see how that’s proof of anything.

            Like that “tunnel entrance” the IDF showed off the other day that was just a water resevoir.

                Documentation? Pictures from inside the base? A third party source that has no bias in the situation (heh, good luck) providing conclusive testimony? Literally anything other than an overhead shot that’s labeled with “We swear there’s hamas here, guys, c’mon let us bomb more civilians!”

                  And how do you do any of that without attacking and taking over the place? I got the impression that they hadn’t taken it over yet so photos from far away were the best it is going to get.

                    “We’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!”

                    One of the most advanced militaries in the world and they can’t figure out anything better?

                  How do you show that from photos, are they carrying Hamas flags with Hamas IDs visible?

                    Potentially. It’s certainly a lot better than an unpopulated, dingy basement and the promise that “it’s a bad guy’s lair!” from the very same people who blew up the hospital right above it.

                    All Israeli soldiers have six pointed stars on their uniforms. Just show combatants that don’t have one.
