Israel unveils tunnels underneath Gaza City headquarters of UN agency for Palestinian refugees

The Israeli military says it has discovered tunnels underneath the main headquarters of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees in Gaza City, alleging that Hamas militants used the space as an electrical supply room.

The unveiling of the tunnels marked the latest chapter in Israel’s campaign against the embattled agency, which it accuses of collaborating with Hamas.

Recent Israeli allegations that a dozen staff members participated in the Hamas attack on Israel Oct. 7 plunged the agency into a financial crisis, prompting major donor states to suspend their funding as well as twin investigations. The agency says that Israel has also frozen its bank account, embargoed aid shipments and canceled its tax benefits.

The army invited journalists to view the tunnel on Thursday.

Not the dreaded Hamas electrical supply room!

It’s next to the bombed Hamas park used by Hamas children.

Yeah and the Hamas children used Hamas transit to travel Hamas km to do Hamas on the Hamas.

Say it were actually an electrical supply room used by Hamas under the UN headquarters like Israel is suggesting, does the affiliation of the UN with the organization that planned and executed the terrorist attack on innocent people mean nothing?

It doesn't mean anything if it is unsubstantiated BS.

I agree. They are inviting reporters to look at it though. Are they unbiased sources? I don’t know but if they were from reasonably unbiased sources and they verified the claims, wouldn’t it mean something?

They've already faked it twice, so I wouldn't believe it the 3rd time personally.

I’m trying to look at this logically. If you were going to fake something, how is the best you can come up with an electrical supply room? It’s a pretty crappy gotcha. Which brings us back to my original question of even if Israel had faked it before, if this time it was proven to be true, wouldn’t that mean something? I would liken that scenario to be like the police frame two people for murder but the third one is legitimate. It’s right to be very sceptical but if it’s all proven to be true for the 3rd person it should still mean something
