    Until a reliable, independent news agency verifies it, any claim from either side should be viewed as misleading. It’s also worth noting that it’s not just Hamas denying this, it’s also the facility itself. Here’s part of a report from one of the BBC correspondents in Gaza:

    "Israel has accused Hamas of having a command and control centre underneath Shifa - which the group denies.

    I have been to the hospital hundreds of time - I was born there, my son was born there, in the last two months of my mum’s life, she was inside the kidney dialysis centre and I used to visit her every day.

    It is very hard to verify what is underneath. With my eyes, I haven’t seen any military capability inside the hospital buildings."

    Lastly, consider the fact that this hospital is in one of the places the IDF instructed Palestinians to flee to . Are we now saying that the IDF were purposefully trying to place Palestinians in danger by telling them to go to a location where they knew Hamas operated from?

    Source, time logged 08:14

    EDIT: I was referring to the wrong hospital - see my comment below for details.

        The BBC quote Dr Ebrahem Matar, a heart specialist in the intensive care unit at the Aqsa Martyrs’ hospital - the only medical centre in the middle area of the Gaza Strip.

        "Dr Matar said there was only one operating room and limited number of staff.

        "'It is catastrophic and it is difficult. We see patients deteriorate due to the continuous pain and the continuous resistant infections.

        The hospital is in one of the areas the Israeli army has told Palestinians to flee to.'”

        EDIT: It looks like this is a different hospital Dr Matar was talking about. I’ll update my other comment too.

            Tell Palestinians to flee to certain areas? Yeah. NPR reported it, BBC reported it, CBS reported it, Al-Jazeera reported it, CNN reported it.

                Yeah, just look at the areas the IDF told people to flee to and you’ll see Marat’s hospital is there.

                  Don’t waste your time … I just called him out and he created another account posing as an anime fan kid.

                  He will spot any news criticizing Israel then ask for sources / links / evidence and leave when links provided. Rinse and repeat.

    Isn’t this the video where they used things like a calendar with regular dates and claimed it was a list of Hamas members?

    The entire area they showed looked like the power area of the hospital’s basement, with various things on the walls and such that indicate hospital and nothing else.

    Their only “evidence” in the videos was the pile of guns they showed, which…isn’t really evidence of anything, especially since we have no way to tell if those were planted or not.

      Yes lol. Apparently a terrorist militia command center is less well armed than a random house in Arizona. If you watch this video and are convinced by it, I have a bridge to sell you.

        Especially with this coming on the heels of that almost pristine copy of Mein Kampf they were pushing as belonging to a Hamas member in a children’s room the IDF partially blew up.

      The infowar continues, and Bidens choices have brought in neo-progressives to help the Israelis.

        Sure, Biden did this. They found them in the hospital basement right next to the calendar and stack of planted guns.

          Ummm…

          You mean the hostage room full of hostages Israel wants back?

          Ya. My money is on full planted disinformation aimed at justifying slaughter of innocents.
