Early Friday, it was widely, incorrectly reported that Israeli ground forces had advanced into Gaza.
Some observers blame the confusion on a military ploy to lure militants into the tunnels under Gaza.
More than 150 Israeli jets went on to intensely bombard the tunnel system, known as "the metro."
"The IDF makes Hamas think that a ground operation is beginning, which causes the organization to bring in all its fighters, including the Nahba, the special force of Hamas, to go down into the tunnels and prepare for combat," Dvori wrote.
"Then for 35 minutes, 160 planes hover over Gaza and drop 450 bombs, which are over 80 tons of explosives, on the entire Gaza 'metro.'"
The IDF has blamed the confusion on a translation error, but

“Accused” by who?
Omygosh. Wait till Hitler finds out about this.
Israel is accused? Sounds like Israel should be congratulated! The media complaining about being used to promote fake news? Really?
And every scumbag local news ran the story nation wide.
The best part is how it now makes them second-guess themselves... “maybe this is how Israel wants me to react”
I hope they lured some of the media into the tunnels.

It’s a shame they weren’t able to exterminate everyone of Hamas’ supporters too.
It might be a little rude for IAF planes to knock down US State Department buildings in Washington.

Exactly. Along similar lines, has anyone else noticed that the late night talk shows only have Democrats on their shows? Can someone tell me the last time they saw a conservative on one of those shows. Yes, it could be that they are invited and turn the invitation down...you could hardly blame them. But, if that were the case, I could think those same hosts would “brag” about it. I thought the Fairness Doctrine required equal time when politics are involved. Guess not...
If they did, would there be anybody around to report it?
The only tragedy I see here is that the Associated Press department wasn't fully staffed at the time.
ROTFLMAO!
I don’t understand.
