Mazel Tov! Now the deaths of those 5000 Palestinian children is totally justified!

9 rifles. They would have taken down the Israeli military!

And there’s no telling where they came from. For all we know the hospital staff took them off wounded/dead Hamas and didn’t know what to do with it.

Also, why are the cans of WD40 laid out like some kind of military supply? I mean, it has its uses, but, like pretty much every home in America probably has a can (or something similar.)

Yeah, after all, doctors treat everyone.

The pictures look really pathetic for a "control center". Not to mention Israeli soldiers took 200 people form the hospital (aged 16 to 40), stripped them, insulted them, and led them to an unknown room to interrogate.

War crime after war crime after war crime...

EDIT: the very fact that "books" were among these items kills it for me. You think you can shoot someone with a Quran copy? ROFL

I would hope doctors wouldn't put metallic things in their MRI room though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why not? It’s probably shut down to save power

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it was a huge control center, then it'd been there for years and Israel was attacking to get rid of it. There wouldn't be any metallic objects there. It is an MRI room, a huge hospital uses those a lot.

The MRI machines are spun down- which is how that guy in the tweeted video showing “what they found” Was able to go into that room at all. Probably because they’re power hogs and they’re a bitch to spin back up, even when shut down “properly”.

Also, that guy was a Lt. Colonel. Like. Wtf? Did he watch too much cops growing up? Cuz, you know. Getting some heavy “We found this weed and a pipe on him. It’s worth 500 bucks on the street but now, it’s 20 years in prison. [pans to a couple buds in a sandwich baggie]” vibes.

Just hold your breath a little longer soon they'll find that command center underground beneath the hospital just like those WMDs George Bush and Colin Powell found in Iraq.

I know man, there were like a dozen AKs in the area. Clearly an existential threat to Israel. They have a right to defend their existence! /s

That perhaps Israel is lying because why would Hamas have California dates?

Really though, it doesn't mean anything. Why wouldn't Hamas have access to California dates? It's not like the US is locking down date exports to Gaza

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

That's less weaponry than many Americans who try to protect themselves from their own governement (which isn't even trying) have.

Amazon delivers to Gaza?

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The army simultaneously released a video that it said showed some of the material recovered from an undisclosed building within the large hospital complex, including automatic weapons, grenades, ammunition and flak jackets.

The military has focused its operations on hospitals across northern Gaza after long accusing Hamas of setting up major command and control centres beneath medical facilities in an effort to avoid air strikes.

Israeli troops forced their way into Al Shifa overnight and have spent the day scouring specific locations within Gaza's largest hospital.

Israeli soldiers entered the Rantissi paediatric hospital on Monday, later releasing a video showing what it said were weapons stored by Hamas in the building's basement.

Speaking earlier on CNN, military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht said Israelis forces had entered a specific area inside the hospital, adding: "There wasn't an all-out attack."

Israeli officials have previously suggested that some of the 240 captives seized by Hamas militants in Israel on Oct. 7 might be located underneath Gazan hospitals.


The original article contains 443 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I would imagine every hospital has some guns and gear by now... if someone comes in wounded you just treat them and deal with alleged crimes later. Some terrified hospital housekeeper, nursing assistant or orderly is probably tasked with locking up weapons and gear in some room until they can figure out what the F to do with it.

Do you know how to safely dispose of ammunition and grenades? Because I sure as hell dont.
