    … I’m just curious. How many people here think that there are no tunnels or military resources under the hospital, and Israel is making it all up? If you think that’s probably the case, upvote this comment.

    edit: Feel free to downvote if you think it’s probably not the case. I don’t care about the karma, I’m just curious about the poll results.

      This poll is not going to be accurate because you have worded it so. Everyone knows there are tunnels there because Israel dug them in particular there before leaving occupation in 2006. The real questions should be if they are connected, serving as a logistics hub, or used for storage of weapons. Even then, that’s a completely different question on if it was justified to take the hospital in the way they did as opposed to just bombing it and of the certainty of the intelligence played into the decision making there.

        Bro what? Israel digging tunnels in Gaza?

        And I don’t understand, you’re saying it’s better to bomb the hospital given it’s acting as a military hub? That it’s better to bomb it rather than taking it over?

        I’m so confused by your comment.

          Israel occupied the Gaza strip until 2005. There is certain infrastructure that they built and tunnels under that hospital was one of them. It was not for military purposes but they know it is there. It’s important to understand the context behind the news as well as the events themselves.

            Um… Sources? First time I hear of them digging tunnels.

            But even if they did dig tunnels for non-military purposes in the 2000s, they have good intelligence of it being used as a military storehouse (even if you don’t believe their intelligence, which is regarded as one of the best in the world by several nations worldwide, you can hear the same from 7/10 terrorists’ testimonies in captivity). And it’s proven that Hamas’ strategy is digging tunnels for themselves, as in 2014 they used those tunnels in fighting the IDF and for invading bordering villages.
