Hamas bases under hospitals, 40 beheaded babies and mass rape allegations against Hamas sure didn't need independent verification.
When it's IDF propaganda any developing story can go on the most "reputable site" . But a story against Israel? High press standards activated!
Aljazeera doesn't just make up stories there's a high probability that there is truth to this since those people didn't just randomly die on their own and the IDF did raid the place.
It's worth pointing out that "Al Jazeera says after interviewing witnesses" is also very different from "the IDF says". One is a news organization that's known for generally being neutral. The other is literally one of the combatants. If anything, we should be holding the IDF to a higher standard.
Not to mention this is fairly easy to validate and confirm. The reporters who did the interviews will have transcripts and notes from it. They can release those without breaking privacy or identifying anyone, and if the notes tell the same story, it's unlikely to be fabricated.
AJ is about as neutral as Hamas is in this war.
There were bases under the hospitals
Can you link me a single piece of evidence of Hamas doing this?
I can only seem find these kinds of acts being committed by the IDF all the time.
A whole list of articles including one from even a decade ago of the IDF forcing a 9 year old civilian Palestinian boy to open a suspected IED bag.

With the photographic evidence to back it up damn...
Fucked up photo.
"Since the beginning of the occupation in 1967, Israeli security forces have repeatedly used Palestinians in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip as human shields, ordering them to perform military tasks that risked their lives. As part of this policy, soldiers have ordered Palestinian civilians to remove suspicious objects from roads, to tell people to come out of their homes so the military can arrest them, to stand in front of soldiers while the latter shoot from behind them, and more. The Palestinian civilians were chosen at random for these tasks, and could not refuse the demand placed on them by armed soldiers."

I have noticed this trend of whatever Israel is accusing others of perpetuating, it is usually heavily involved in itself.
Seems that solider in 2008 is keeping the man behind the concrete partition. Does that look like a human shield? As for the boy, The amazing life and deeds of Mohammed Badwan – The Human Shield Amazing how he's remained 13 years old for the last 20 years!
Hamas are terrorists. Their regime ends now.
Do you not know more than those few English words? You attempted to dunk on us, exhibited the fact that you literally don't know a single thing about the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, and then repeated yourself. Bravo.
It seems that soon hamas will be completely neutralized. How do you like that? Not much you can do about it huh.
Sorry pal. Hope you get over it some day
Israel claims they still need "months if not years" so it doesn't look like they're making any progress actually killing any Hamas members
