Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Looks more like a bunker buster blast hole than a fortified shaft uncovered by a bulldozer to me.

Hamas is using narrow plastic tunnels under Gaza to transport water

“in the area of the hospital underneath a shed"

So... not under the hospital? I don't get it.

I think you get it

hamas keeps pulling this shit out of my ass and into my pants

Beyond the door, intelligence suggested either the tunnel would split or there would be “a big room for command and control”, he added, saying troops would continue searching the area as there could be access shafts from nearby houses.

So Al Jazeera is now just reporting guesses what are we doing here

Piggybacking off of this comment:

It is vital that these questions are answered as Israel uses such so-called evidence as justification to target hospitals in its war on Gaza. The words chosen here are important.

~~I think they are simply reporting what the Israeli intelligence officials are saying, not specifically guessing themselves.~~ edit: oops

So far I have found their reporting to be mostly neutral while still ensuring they don't use the word "terrorists" and using the word "genocide".

They specifically called Oct. 7th a "cross-border attack" rather than a terrorist attack, as well as pointing out the insanely large amount of Palestinians killed during Israel's airstrikes and ground invasion.

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I didn't say they were guessing I said they were reporting guessing. Israeli intelligence had no idea what was behind the door until they opened it.

Ohhh my mistake. Misinterpreted. Then yes, you are correct

Totally a valid reason to bomb hospitals and snipe people inside them.

[–] Buchenstr@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

yeah because they fucking built it, holy shit they are desperate.
