To be clear, I personally think a concrete basement and a bunker are two different things, but without more details it’s difficult to know what the reality is.

TLDR of Newsweek Article:

Fact Check: Did Israel Build Bunker Under Shifa Hospital?

The Ruling: True

Multiple sources have corroborated that a bunker or basement was built at Israel's discretion in the 1980s.

It remains unclear whether Hamas operates the space beneath the hospital as a major military headquarters, even though the IDF has presented evidence of weapons stashed in the hospital.

Bad bot. This is not the article linked to in the post.

Reposting my response to you on the other thread for visibility.

To be fair, Al Jazeera is blatantly anti-Israel, so I wouldn’t trust their analysis without other corroborating sources. Regardless, the evidence the IDF presented for that particular video was far from conclusive, so it’s certainly possible that particular entrance wasn’t to the Hamas tunnel network.

I also don’t doubt that nurse video is fake, but the source of the video is far from definitive. Many parties in this conflict benefit from muddling the waters with fake videos.

Edit: For the sake of not reliving the whole argument when it got into attacks. Here’s the last real response I had.

“From what I’ve read, the Arabic Language Twitter account for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs reposted that video and deleted it after learning it was false. That is not necessarily the same as the IDF creating a fake video.”

You’ve literally commented 113+ times in a two day period since creating your account and you constantly spread FUD with questionable evidence.

Please lay off the attacks on reasonable people.

Bias needs to be taken into account, but it does not invalidate good reporting on its own. It’s the same reason I don’t immediately believe all statements from the IDF. They are a party in the conflict and extremely biased. They are however a valuable source of information and their claims should be considered. I would also rank the credibility of the IDF over the credibility of Hamas.

I mean, I just copy and pasted it from the website. I personally think it adds to the legibility.

Was that claim made?

I think what this footage shows is that hospital staff were not truthful in their statements about having no knowledge of Hamas being in the hospital.

However, I think it’s very understandable that they would lie to the world about this. The hospital staff live day to day under the control of Hamas. Anyone who speaks up against Hamas risks their life by doing so. If the medical workers want to continue to save lives, they cannot speak out against Hamas.

I’ve not seen a reputable source verifying that claim. Care to share where you got your information?

Edit: Are you also claiming the CCTV footage is fake? Just trying to wrap my head around what you are saying.

Yeah, IDF statements should definitely be taken with a large grain of salt, but it’s still invaluable information.

And yeah Twitter/X seems all over the place. I hate it as a platform, but sometimes it’s necessary. No idea when they made direct links to Tweets work again, but they still won’t let you browse more widely without logging in.
