I'm sure they'll suddenly find it in two weeks when they've had enough time to construct one.

[–] athos77@kbin.social 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Remember when the attacks happened and they "found" documents on one of the raiders bodies, conveniently labeled Top Secret and listing the names of target areas? And the stapled-together documents, which were supposedly printed out, reviewed multiple times by the attackers, carried into battle in mid-80s heat by someone carrying weapons and body armor (so very sweaty) for a couple miles, got into at least one firefight that ended with the raider dead, retrieved from the body by Israeli soldiers, reviewed by them, and then shown to an ever-so-convenient reporter who took pictures of these battle plans?
Except that, for everything the "battle plans" had supposedly been through, there were no sstains on them. They weren't even bent over where the staple was. The only 'damage' to the 'plans' were that one corner was slightly bent over.

The problem was people trying to defend it in the comments, it was the most pathetic thing you could see.

Imagine if the IDF put some actual work into their bullshitting campaigns. The boot licking would be devastating.

"As you can see here this door is clearly labeled terrorism room"

[–] livus@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Was going to say this. It's a bit unfair to expect them to "find" anything they can't carry in with them.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 30 points 10 months ago (3 children)

The "edit-free video", with an obvious jump cut of course, the IDF released is some of the most pathetic propaganda I've seen from them. They deleted the video from twitter while Hasan Piker was critiquing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bewFx09kINA

[–] Jaytreeman@kbin.social 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The 'raw' video that included things that very well could have been a bomb shelter for the hospital.
'Why would a hospital have a bomb shelter?' Asks a country that has been bombing another country into oblivion for 20 years.
'Oh look! This motorcycle has a bullet hole! It must have been used by terrorists!' says a country who's military has been shooting people indiscriminately for 70years.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

Well, that bomb shelter was actually built by Israel when they occupied Gaza in the 80s. That was known about because they built it. The other claims that they said they have information on have yet to be verified by any actual evidence.

Speculation it was deleted in part due to the laptop showing a picture of an IOF member which is blurred in the current one

[–] fred@lemmy.ml 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are you kidding me! They found an evil calendar down there

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Had a picture of a river and a sea.

[–] OccamsTeapot@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

In the next few days I fucking guarantee you that the usual Israeli propaganda mouthpieces all over the internet will point to the picture they released of a handful of guns and a Quran as proof that this was a "Hamas base" or "terrorist equipment" and the whole operation was a total success.

Let us never forget that this wasn't supposed to just be a "base" or a few guns and grenades, but a major headquarters or even a "center of gravity" for the whole organization. Their supposed world class intelligence concluded this and was happily supported by the US. And it was apparently fucking bullshit. So either a) they lied as an excuse to kill and terrorize civilians or b) their intelligence is actually a steaming pile of shit and they have no hope of actually destroying Hamas unless they actually drop that nuke the lunatic politician suggested a week or two ago.

As always, looking forward to the comments about how this isn't actually a war crime and it's somehow all Hamas' fault and Israel is just defending itself by launching an unjustified attack on a vital piece of civilian infrastructure.

Holy fuck how is this not an onion article title...

[–] livus@kbin.social 12 points 10 months ago

As someone who remembers the "war on terror" and the search for WMDs, yes, this is how they do.

A bunch of Onion-tier claims that are really just ticking a box to "authorize" whatever it is they wanted to do all along.

[–] N0body@sh.itjust.works 23 points 10 months ago

"Oopsie. Our bad. The base was probably in some other hospital. We're going to bomb them all just to make sure."

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They'll just kick a knife and a laptop into the ICU, take a picture, and call it so.

Just kidding, they'll provide zero evidence because these psychos in the Israeli military actually think they shouldn't have to justify bombing a hospital full of (using their words) "animals"

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

They'll take a picture of a laptop, somebody will point out the background picture on the laptop is the guy who posted the picture with his family, they'll delete the post, and Biden will give a speech saying he continues to support what they're doing.

[–] jalda@sopuli.xyz 22 points 10 months ago

Have they found the Incubators of Mass Destruction?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The whole Hamas command base in a hospital narrative is pure nonsense. Do people just not understand that partisan resistance groups operate using independent cells precisely because having a central base of operations would create a central failure point for the whole organization?

[–] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I kept wondering if they believed that as well or was purely for the rubes. Like isn't the whole point of guerilla warfare that it's decentralized and somewhat grassroots via pockets of resistance fighters with varying degrees of coordination

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -4 points 10 months ago

It's highly unlikely they actually believed this. Seems like what they wanted was to just take over the hospital to use as their own base of operations.

[–] markr@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The missing military base and the absence of any Hamas defense of the hospital makes the IDF attack a war crime with zero justification.

[–] appel@whiskers.bim.boats 8 points 10 months ago

The IDF has been committing warcrimes non-stop. Could even argue they have been committing them for 75 years since the occupation began.

They're gonna find Sadam's WMDs first.

Israel is so corrupt.... US: Stop supporting them (oh wait, you are also corrupt)

[–] ApexHunter@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago

The latest claim is that they have found a shaft leading underground. How much you want to bet it looks like an elevator shaft, if they even release any pictures of it....

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Oh, the Hamas base? It's uh, underneath another school. In Canada. You wouldn't know her.

Hold on though, what's this? We found something else!

And the world just shrugs and says Israel has the right to do this....disgusting.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There was a fucker on here like a week or two ago saying Hamas probably bombed the hospital because they did the festival attack, and they were completely confident that it was the simplest explanation even with the IDF lying about their supposed video evidence.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Normally I'm against hexbear brigading, but please tell me you fuckers dunked the shit out of them.

[–] autotldr@lemmings.world 3 points 10 months ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The war, now in its sixth week, was triggered by a wide-ranging Hamas attack into southern Israel on Oct. 7 in which the militants killed over 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and captured some 240 men, women and children.

Israel responded with a weekslong air campaign and a ground invasion of northern Gaza, vowing to remove Hamas from power and crush its military capabilities.

Israeli troops stormed into Gaza’s largest hospital Wednesday, searching for traces of Hamas inside and beneath the facility, where newborns and hundreds of other patients have suffered for days without electricity and other basic necessities.

Troops searched the underground levels of the hospital on Thursday and detained technicians responsible for running its equipment, the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said in a statement.

Munir al-Boursh, a senior official with Gaza’s Health Ministry inside the hospital, said troops ransacked the basement and other buildings, and questioned and scanned the faces of patients, staff and people sheltering in the facility.

Israel allowed a small amount of fuel to enter Gaza on Wednesday, for the first time since the war began, so that the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees could continue bringing limited supplies of aid.
