I love the Israeli photos of WD-40 cans... as if a hospital wouldn't use that.

I got a can in my garage right now. Perhaps, there is a Hamas tunnel there.

Heck, it's Gaza, I wouldn't be surprised to find a gun or two hidden anywhere.

Though hiding guns right next to an MRI machine seems like a bit of a problem if you ever want to turn the MRI machine on.

It's an active war zone. If someone comes in armed and injured, I assume they strip them. Then some poor janitor or orderly has to play makeshift armory guard until they can figure out the proper way to dispose of grenades and transfer weapons.

Why do you need to turn the MRI machine if you kill them first?

I'm saying it's kind of implausible that those guns were stored there to begin with.

That part isn't crazy, it's a pretty common case lube. You rub down higher caliber ammunition with light lube to prevent case jams which are common on things like dushkas.

Also, you can use it for any number of applications around the house including squeaky doors.

For sure. My point was that including it with weapons isn't crazy it could actually have came from a fighter. It's just way more likely it was taken from a downed combatant and seized so they don't have access to it during treatment like every other combat clinic rather than some a elaborate stashhouse Israel claims it to be.

It's not a statement in support if either position and to be clear I'm fairly sure Israel is lying because they have a track record of just that.

Fair enough.

It seems absurd that this is Israel's evidence of SECRET COBRA TERRORIST LAIR by Hamas.

It is very very weak evidence for a place they claimed was a centre of gravity not a week ago while claiming they know at least some of it's hidden structure.

They are show casing some tunnels now but they were sealed off with concrete... so Hamas were not using the tunnels?

How can this be a headquarters or "centre of gravity" if its cut off from everything?

Those tunnels are known to have been there, everyone knew there were a few from past conflicts but them being sealed and clearly not hundreds of miles in span kinda ruins their bullshit talking points.
