It is well within Hamas’ playbook to bomb its own hospital and blame it on Israel. They, like democrats will stoop to the vilest lows to get what they want.

How many of the 500 died from secondary explosions when the arms cache Hamas had stored there went off?

The thing is, every building is everything. Its a hospital, also a food pantry, gas station, mosque/armory, residential unit, and a baby milk factory.

Like we didn’t know this was coming. I’m surprised it took this long.

While its a sad thing to hear, Israel needs to keep it’s foot on HAMAS’ throat.

There is footage of a strike on Twitter. Remains to be seen who did it.

Anyone working in or near that hospital has known in the back of their minds perhaps for years that a day would come when that whole building complex would be obliterated.

Does Hamas build tunnels under hospitals and schools?

Lyse Doucet

Chief International Correspondent, in southern Israel

Our next question comes from an anonymous reader, who asks: Please can you elaborate on where the Hamas tunnels are and if they do build them under hospitals and schools?

Gaza’s tunnels are such a sprawling labyrinth that Israel’s military calls them the “Gaza Metro”.

They’re a vital part of Hamas operations. Tunnels are used to transport goods and people, store weapons and ammunition, and shelter command and control centres.

They’re known to be heavily reinforced with concrete and wired with electricity. They’re so deep, as much as 100 feet (30 metres) that it’s hard to say with complete certainty where they’re located.

But such a vast underground network, on such a small sliver of land, seems likely to wind under densely packed neighbourhoods of homes, hospitals, and schools.

There have been reports that some passages have entrances located on the bottom floors of houses, mosques, schools and other public buildings to allow militants to evade detection.

The Israeli military, the IDF, has repeatedly accused Hamas of hiding inside these tunnels, effectively using them as human shields

500? Not without secondaries caused by Hamas storing munitions in or under the hospital.

It could also be that with the pro-terrorist and pro-Iran faction at State bringing more pressure to bear on Israel that they just decided to go after a high-value target before being forced to stop or to provoke enough to have a free hand.

Another possible consequence of our feckless and corrupt foreign policy establishment.

https://www.episcopalnewsservice.org/2023/10/16/anglican-hospital-among-facilities-struggling-to-respond-to-growing-humanitarian-crisis-in-gaza/

Al Ahli Arab Hospital has been ministering as a Christian witness in Gaza City since 1882. The institution was founded by the Church of England’s Church Mission Society and was later run as a medical mission by the Southern Baptist Conference from 1954 to 1982. It then returned to the Anglican Church.


My gut tells me that Hamas was using the hospital as a shelter to avoid being destroyed. It is likely that the Israeli Military detected the entry of large numbers of Hamas entering the Hospital facility.

...resulted in at least 500 casualties. The Hamas-run ministry said at least 500 people have been killed in an explosion...

Dumbass copywriters.

This is all BS. The propagandists are now in control of the messages. No doubt everyone injured will be women and children and hostages and puppies and kittens.

It is a clear sign that the Israelis are kicking some serious a$$ and hummus can not see a military advantage to fighting anymore. Expect pressure for a cease fire to mount dramatically now with a bunch of weepy wailing stories like this.

If Israel waffles, they are just kicking the can down the road again. Their special ops teams seem to be having good success at killing the biggest rats.
