Looks like evidence has been published, and at least partially verified by OSINT groups (in the linked article)

Alright, let's get an independent to verify, but it's looking pretty damning for Hamas at this point.

Yeah, they didn't shoot that, it was the Palestinian Islamic Jihad according to the evidence delievered by Israel. Not the same groups, although they coordinate sometimes. But Hamas went right out of the gate blaming Israel despite apparently knowing better, and that's just not a good look at all if true.

Blatantly lying all over the Internet and media is actually a semi-good look these days, unfortunately.

Oh damn, lying online might tarnish Hamas's reputation?

Hey guys, specifically targeting, torturing, and murdering hundreds of civilians was fine - but we should really draw the line at lying online. That's just barbarous.

Does it? Israel is the last person to trust. I wouldn't even trust them if they admitted it

I mean an Israeli minister actually went out and said "we hit a Hamas base". That's also pretty damning.

Edit: To correct myself, I have no idea why I thought he was a minister. He's part of Netenyahu's "digital team", whatever that is.

Source for that?

Dude, have you done like, any research on this guy? This guy is not a 'minister.' He is basically tech support. He is (or was) on the digital team. Not in the military, not an official, not a spokesperson for Israel in any capacity. He is an Israel fanatic influencer.

I have seen this posted everywhere as somehow 'proof' but it's a fricken influencer who jumped the gun and then got told to shut up because he had his info wrong and deleted the tweet.

This is proof of absolutely nothing except influencers are cancer.

If anyone can clarify what 'digital team' even means, that would be great. It could mean this guy is in charge of photoshopping out lens flares.

Too easy to buy a blue tick and cause rampant misinformation to start flying. Twitter used to be pretty good for breaking news, now it's impossible to trust any accounts without a lot of research.

Okay fair enough. I misremembered him as a minister for some reason. Also yeah, what's a digital team?

Both sides have online propaganda teams to influence people's opinions on the conflict.

I mean, could he have been refering to a different location? According to the Israel briefing, there was no activity of theirs at that time in the area of the hospital. I imagine there is a lot going on on both sides in all kinds of locations at all times at the moment.
