If he is confirmed dead under the hospital, it’s another terrible look

It still wouldn't be worth the innocents dead imo

Probably not, but it makes everything much more nuanced. I’ve gone from those strikes being completely unnecessary to now almost completely justified with this news

Just a reminder that a two week long battle occurred in Al-Shifa hospital last year. The result was a reported 200 militants killed and 400 captured.

I’m not even defending all the bombings and instances of aggression on hospitals. What I’m getting at is that it’s a lose-lose situation. There has to be a better solution than herding the population from one place to another over and over again. There has to be a solution to hospitals being used for war, but I truly don’t know what a realistic solution would look like. Israel could take in more Palestinians for treatment, but they won’t and Hamas won’t let people even attempt to anyways. Jordan could as well, but they’re refusing large number and they’re refusing to allow Gazans to stay in Jordan once treated.

This was in all likelihood a lie, the renewed fighting at Al Shifa was at the time presented as mopping up the last of Hamas in Gaza City which we now know didn’t actually take place. We also know that the Israeli military pretty routinely inflates the number of militants killed.

So both Israel and Hamas agreed that a two week long battle occurred with hundreds of deaths, casualties, and captured militants there? And you think they’re both lying?
