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

that's not pictures of the command centre, just a ward.

source pls!

BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67424064

The IDF reportedly asked all men aged 16-40 to leave the hospital buildings, except the surgical and emergency departments, and go to the hospital courtyard.

Aljazeera English: https://thepeninsulaqatar.com/article/16/11/2023/al-shifa-hospital-building-destroyed-people-taken-to-unknown-areas

This is from their live coverage today so it's not possible to link to single updates on their website but that link mirrors it. If you go to the AlJazeera live updates page and scroll down enough, you should be able to find it.

Meanwhile, there are reports of some 200 people being blindfolded and interrogated and taken to unknown areas; their fate is unknown. Witnesses inside the hospital who we spoke to said [Israeli troops] started with 30 people who were stripped of their clothes, and taken to the courtyard of the hospital. More people were taken after interrogation, blindfolded and put into groups.

ooh, the bbc~ they've made so many mistakes with reporting this ongoing conflict they just can't be trusted to be accurate. They said that IDF was shooting medics in the hospital. They said that the IDF bombed a hospital. They said that Israelis set fire to a mosque when they didn't, etc~

Al Jazeera too! They most definitely cannot be trusted to be factual and impartial. They have Clear bias and Poor credibility. They are funded entirely by the Qatari government. The same Qatar government that houses Hamas leadership. The same Qatar that meets with media mongrels and funds twitter. The same twitter that is notoriously known for being astroturfed.

Propaganda is everywhere, and anyone can fall for it!!! Hatsune Miku recommends Reuters, AP, and announcements by the EU and UN for your news regarding the conflict. Alternatively, you can view this active war-zone map, which congregates footage and announcements. (Remember to take both announcements from IDF and Gaza with a grain of salt unless it is also announced by the UN)

in fact the UN juuust now said to watch out for misinformation! and supplied a handy lil' guide!

About the BBC link:

As BBC News covered initial reports that Israeli forces had entered Gaza’s main hospital, we said that “medical teams and Arab speakers” were being targeted. This was incorrect and misquoted a Reuters report. We should have said IDF forces included medical teams and Arabic speakers for this operation. We apologise for this error, which fell below our usual editorial standards. The correct version of events was broadcast minutes later and we apologised for the mistake on air later in the morning.

lol buddy seriously, are you unhappy that they do good journalism? That they correct their mistakes? Go read all the other reports from Reuters. Didn't the IDF kill one of their photographers earlier? 😬 😬

Good Journalism is not making any mistakes when they're reading off a reuters report. BBC wasn't in the vicinity, they were literally reading off a piece of paper and still failed to do that.

idn’t the IDF kill one of their photographers earlier?

Feel free to link that

I don't think you understand what good journalism is.

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

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

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.

idk... grenades sound like something that shouldn't be in a hospital tho

Okay, say your a Gazan doctor. What do you do with it, toss it in the trash? Hospitals don't generally have to worry about that kind of hazardous waste... it's usually just biological...

100% agree, but I've never been to Gaza or Al Shifa. Do we know these weren't the property of the security team for the hospital?
