However, Sanad’s investigation shows that this is simply the access hatch for a water reservoir that the hospital uses to fill therapeutic pools for amputees, water the grounds, and a reserve water source in case of emergency.

This was pointed out immediately after Israel made their claim.

It clearly wasn't hidden and looked exactly like the service access to an underground storage tank. Something most hospitals in Gaza need because Israel controls their infrastructure and may shut off water, electric, internet or any other utility at any moment for any length of time.

Sanad analysed satellite footage and archives of the hospital’s construction and spoke to one of the original engineers who built it.

That's it. That's their evidence.

Aljaziraa has lost all credibility at this point and have switched over to full propaganda.

No it hasn’t?

Al Jazeera remains one of the best sources of news globally. You’re just upset it’s not spouting Israeli lies and propaganda.

I would suggest that it's you who's lost all credibility and switched over to full propaganda.

And yet somehow remain slightly more credible than most Israeli media on the issue.

Can you point me any piece of propaganda? Cause I still like aljazeera and am worried right now.
