Israel built bunker under Shifa hospital, ex-Israeli PM says
CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour was thrown by the answer given by Ehud Barak during an interview.
it sounds like israel built a bunker under a hospital, and is now bombing it because they suspect hamas is using it because they took hostages there?
The proper solution for this is to search the hospital not bomb it.
47But then they wouldn't be able to genocide Palestinians. So not really a solution for them is it? /S
Netanyahu and his right wing govt is fucking unhinged and his intentions toward Palestinians seem to have been clear for many years from the sounds of it. Israelis needs a very different set of leaders that aren't genocidal monsters.
33but searching it might find evidence that its not being used, and thus not give them the excuse to bomb a hospital and kill tons of people.
19Well you'll be happy to learn they are, in fact, searching it now. And part of it is the storage basement that they built themselves
7Which is why they didn't bomb it directly, but instead searched it. People then shifted the goal posts again and said they shouldn't be there. Also, the part they built was meant to just be a laundry room and some offices. It's not part of the tunnel network Hamas built under that.
0The one we haven't seen and Israel refuses to prove in any meaningful way?
13Actually they did bomb it directly and caused damage to the building. They then terrorized every patient, kidnapped 200 people to an unknown location, and THEN went in to search but of course they found no tunnel inside the hospital itself (because why on earth would a Hamas fighter put the opening there?).

Laws for thee not for me.
26So that's why they were so certain of the bunker's existence. 😅

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have targeted Gaza's biggest medical facility which it said was the site of a Hamas command center, a charge denied by the group.
Amid widespread condemnation about Israel's targeting of the hospital, CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour asked Barak if the IDF and the Israeli government had done a "good enough job of proving their claim" that there was a "major" Hamas command center and bunker under Shifa.
Barak replied "It's already been known for many years that they have a bunker that originally was built by Israeli constructors underneath Shifa," which was used as a "command post" for Hamas and as a "junction of several tunnels"
BBC Verify said that the Israeli footage appeared to have been recorded before reporters arrived and that the earlier clip showed fewer weapons which the IDF later explained was because more weaponry had been found later in the day.
BBC analysis editor Ros Atkins on November 17 said the IDF video was posted, then deleted, and reposted again, with references to an Israeli soldier held hostage removed.
"We don't know the reasons for that edit, nor how significant it is," Atkins said in the video which as of Tuesday had received 12.4 million views, adding that Israel's military "says suggestions it is manipulating the media are incorrect."

12Literally not talking about the tunnels and bunkers shown recently which are built in Hamas style developed over the last 15 or so years.
The shafts and tunnels are built in a certain style with parts made in gaza. This is all visible.
2"hamas style" is that like art Deco? Maybe art Nuevo?
You mean the place the hospital is located and constructed? Weird things in Gaza would be built in Gaza.
15Hamas-chic
13They use a specific type of cement piece construction they developed over time to let them build tunnels quickly for cheap. It's been documented historically and proudly by Hamas.
It's the shape of the stone arches and the smaller U shaped pieces in the shaft that tell you it wasn't Israeli built.

Did Israel build the one they based their attack around?
1No, quite literally. It's been known Hamas does this shit for 10 years. More than a few prisoners reported it in interrogations.
Once the geolocated shafts were shown on video and by reporters it became glaringly apparent Israel didn't build those. The weird misinformation around the Bunker they did build is some weird delusions.

Yes, Hamas would use an Israeli company to build their secret bunker. That sounds very plausible indeed. Hamas is well-known to be trusting of Israelis.
Edit: I don't even think they bombed the hospital because of a bunker in the first place.
Also, a surprising number of people seem to be taking the word of an ex-Israeli PM as truth around here.
-22Ehud Barak: "No, decades ago, we were running the place... we helped them to build these bunkers."
32Why the fuck people trust anything this liar says is beyond me. He was defense minister during the Gaza war.

Fascinating to read. Did you not read one line of the article that stated that Israel buildt it decades ago when they controlled Gaza?
I'm not saying I belive Israels claims of Hamas using it as a command center but let's at least get the facts straight.
28Most ppl ignore Israel gvt helped in the creation of Hamas

people will take what serves their agenda...
-8And ignore what doesn't serve their agenda.
Cognitive dissonance + cherry picking.
