Israeli military officials have shown a group of international journalists a small living quarters they found in a tunnel underneath Shifa Hospital, claiming that the space had been used by Hamas militants.

Dozens of soldiers escorted journalists through a narrow stone tunnel — which the military said stretched 150 meters (164 yards) — to a series of underground bunkers beneath Shifa Hospital in a shattered Gaza City.

The living quarters, located at the end of the tunnel, had an air conditioner, kitchen, bathroom and pair of metal cots in a room fashioned from rusty white tile. They appeared to be out of use.

The AP was allowed access to Gaza on the condition that its journalist stay with the Israeli military convoy throughout the four-hour tour and submit all material to a military censor ahead of publication. There is no other way for foreign journalists to currently access the enclave.

      I’ve never heard that guy before but he’s purposely ignoring things to make the other side seem idiotic, which is not a good faith argument.

      You can’t say Hamas is not using human shields. They are, they’ve even bombed some of them and spread disinformation that Israel did it to make Israel look even worse, it was one of their first moves after Oct 7th.

      The only valuable bit of the link you posted was the CNN clip from the Israeli guy. I’m only leaving this comment in hopes that people think about the echo chambers they get in. Echo chambers are incredibly powerful and with regards to this conflict, very dangerous. It’s an incredibly complex situation with the only innocent parties being the civilians on both sides.

      Neither civilian group wants either of the current leaderships in play, but those leaderships are what caused this and are perpetuating it.
