Israel released chilling footage Sunday showing what it said were Hamas terrorists operating out of two hospitals around Gaza City — as it vowed to have the enclave surrounded within 48 hours and start street combat.
Israeli Defense Forces spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari presented videos to reporters that he said revealed Hamas agents using an underground entrance tunnel at the Sheikh Hamad Hospital — and also opening fire at Israeli forces from the medical center, the Times of Israel reported.
“If it weren’t enough that we exposed a tunnel under the hospital, the terrorists also shot at our soldiers from within the hospital,” Hagari said.
The IDF spokesman said Israel also uncovered a tunnel network under Indonesian Hospital, as well as rocket launchers stationed near the building.
“Hamas systematically built the Indonesian Hospital to disguise its underground terror infrastructure,” Hagari alleged while producing a military aerial shot of the complex.edit on 11/6/2023 by FlyersFan because: (no reason given)

I have read the IDF is bombing these tunnels when they can, and also using trained dogs in the tunnels to attack Hamas.
Despite the calls for evacuation, hospital officials have repeatedly said it would be impossible to empty Gaza’s medical centers.
Several hospitals operating in the Palestinian enclave have said they have many patients in intensive care and children in incubators who cannot be moved so easily in order to shelter from airstrikes.

The evidence is clear and is presented, yet you continue to deny Hamas uses human shields, and that they use hospitals (and schools) to operate out of. You keep demanding some kind of from-the-sky radar of underground tunnels. I don't know if that kind of technology exists let alone if Israel would even have it.
Pffft. You can deny it all you want but the evidence is clear.

And you keep eating up Israeli propaganda without verifiable and independent investigation.

Evidence isn't propaganda.
YOU keep eating up Hamas propaganda and quoting Al Jazeera as a 'source', which is Qatari state run. Qatari .. the ones who blamed Israel for the October 7th terrorist attacks.

I love how all the news sources you all have been criticizing for years have now magically become credible...
You all aren't denying ignorance right now just so you know.

You failed to address what I said. You keep demanding some kind of from-the-sky radar of underground tunnels. I don't know if that kind of technology exists let alone if Israel would even have it. PROVE that kind of technology exists .. that there is some kind of eye in the sky that can detect these tunnels and that Israel has that technology. You keep demanding it as the only evidence you'll believe, so show it exists and Israel has it.
Then again, if Israel did have it and did produce it, you'd just deny it anyways.
So whatever. Pfffft.

This thread's source is directly from IDF so you can't get more biased that that, or can you?

It only says discussion on development and use. It doesn't say that they actively have that capability. You keep demanding it. Well ... show that Israel has the capability.
The evidence they have provided is enough.
It clearly shows Hamas working out of hospitals.
You are in denial because it doesn't fit your bias.

It's evidence. OF COURSE the evidence is 'biased' towards Israel, it's their intelligence gathering that has collected it. They aren't exactly going to collect evidence for Hamas. That doesn't make their evidence inadmissible.
Israel operates TecSAR-1 (Ofeq-8), a reconnaissance satellite launched in 2008. It’s equipped with a SAR developed by Elta Systems. EROSAR 1, a SAR-enabled satellite launched in 2022 has more advanced capability.

Right back atcha junior.
At the Sheikh Hamad hospital, known as the 'Qatari' hospital, Rear Admiral Hagari showed what he said was photo evidence of tunnel entrances alongside the building discovered by Israeli troops.
Hagari said Hamas operates from within the hospital because they know that the IDF cannot launch an airstrike on them without causing collateral damage.
