    The decision makers can watch but we must all be made aware of the atrocities. Sick bastards need to be hunted down.

    Israel hasn’t released the videos out of respect for the families. And those who survived. There may be religious issues too. The Nazis were careful to document their atrocities too. That’s who these people are. And they need to be defeated like the Nazis were.

    At least one of the schools Israel targeted has long been used by Hamas as a hideout/base of operations. Israel has hit it it many times over the years for that very reason.
    The UN school is a new development as far as I can tell. However the article I read (hours was behind a paywall) was extremely one side in reporting and who they interviewed .One small
    Paragraph were Israel said only soldiers are operating in that area and they are hunting Hamas and nothing more… which may or may not be true. We have seen far too many instances where Hamas (Palestinian news organizations) make a claim against Israel that turns out to be false . If Israel is targeting schools without cause they will have to answer for that. As of now I’m wait before passing judgement.

    On Sunday, the military shared new footage of the underground network of tunnels and bunkers it says is buried under the hospital, as Israeli forces continue to operate in and around the facility. It also released surveillance camera footage from Shifa showing Hamas terrorists bringing a Nepali and Thai citizen who were abducted from Israel on October 7, when thousands of terrorists burst across the border into Israel from Gaza and killed some 1,200 people, a majority of them civilians, and also took some 240 hostages of all ages.

    In one video provided on Monday by the military of part of an interrogation of a terror suspect apprehended last week, the suspect says he was at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, where some 50,000 people were seeking refuge, and the “doctors were furious because Hamas operatives and operatives of other terror groups were inside the hospital.”

    The IDF published three videos showing detainees detailing to Unit 504 interrogators Hamas’s use of hospitals for terror purposes. The men described how they hid at the Shifa and Rantisi hospitals, the Red Crescent building, and other medical centers, while Hamas used the sites to fight Israeli soldiers.ion for its terror activity, and has specifically singled out Shifa as a key underground operations center for the group.

    The suspect estimated that there were about 100 such operatives at the hospital and that some “dressed as nursing staff and other medical staff “to blend in with the hospital wards,” even in the intensive care unit.

    The army also released an infographic showing the locations near the Shifa complex where the bodies of hostages Yehudit Weiss and Cpl. Noa Marciano were found several days ago.

    Noa was kidnapped to an apartment next to Shifa Hospital. During the IDF strikes in Gaza, a Hamas terrorist who was holding her was killed,” Hagari said Sunday during a daily press briefing.


    According to IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, Marciano was wounded by an IDF strike on November 9, while held in Gaza, and later taken to Shifa, where she was murdered.

    “Noa was kidnapped to an apartment next to Shifa Hospital. During the IDF strikes in Gaza, a Hamas terrorist who was holding her was killed,” Hagari said Sunday during a daily press briefing.

    War in Gaza: 'Hamas terrorists constantly hide behind children and women'

    The 'Zaytun' Battalion is one of Hamas’ main battalions operating in the area of 'Zaytun' in Gaza City. The troops have encountered an enemy that is entrenched in the heart of residential neighborhoods, hospitals, schools and kindergartens, and attacks from within civilian infrastructure.


    The soldiers of the 188th Brigade took operational control of several key targets of the 'Zaytun' Battalion, including the command center of the Commander of the Gaza City Brigade and the battalion's central headquarters. The soldiers searched the area, located many weapons and at the end of the searches they destroyed the command center of the Commander of the Brigade. In addition, the soldiers directed an air strike in the area of the Zaytun which led to the elimination of terrorists. In recent days, the soldiers located a laboratory for the production of rockets, explosion materials, a tunnel shaft, a large number of weapons, and a UAV inside a mosque.

    IDF's spy Unit 504 was critical in unmasking Hamas’s abuse of hospitals

    Another Palestinian, Hamdoah Riad Assad Samlah, described how Hamas terrorists were using 50,000 Palestinian civilians at the large Palestine Red Crescent Society building in Gaza as human shields.


    Hamas had wrapped their rockets in civilian blankets to hide them from the IDF, and they frequently fired them from the nearby surroundings of the building, he added.

    Another Palestinian told Unit 504 he had seen more than 100 Hamas terrorists controlling Rantisi Hospital in Gaza, split up into tents of about five to six terrorists per tent.

    He said he was also in a hospital known as the Sweden Hospital, where he saw at least seven Hamas terrorists. Although they were in civilian garb, he said he knew one of them personally, and the rest were armed.

    Early Monday, the surgery department of the Indonesian hospital in north Gaza was targeted, killing 10 patients who had been under anesthetic, said Marwan al-Sultan, director of the hospital. “The department is completely destroyed,” he told The Washington Post. “There is shrapnel everywhere. There is shooting targeting all windows around the hospital.”

    The Israel Defense Forces said militants had opened fire on its troops from within the hospital. “In response, IDF troops directly targeted the specific source of enemy fire. No shells were fired toward the hospital.”

    IDF reveals: How intel led Israel to Hamas's Shifa terror tunnel
    The IDF entered the complex by blowing through a side wall, as opposed to the main entrance, near a booby-trapped pickup truck to get to the Qatar facility as quickly as possible.

    Eventually, a mix of drones and special units searching for the tunnel found a suspicious-looking small covered structure.

    The IDF also gave a more exact distance of 50-100 meters from Al-Shifa for its location of the bodies of multiple Israelis taken by Hamas on October 7, whose remains have been brought back to Israel.

    It’s a shit poll asking a group of people about another group of people that were literally, at that exact moment, bombing them. Not to mention it doesn’t account for children - half of Gaza’s population. So 75% of adult Palestinians support the atrocities after being bombed for a month and having 10,000 of their innocents killed. This is my shocked face.

    So instead of blaming Hamas for the hell that brought down in them, instead of recognizing the atrocities that Hamas committed that started and caused the bombing, Palestinians were proud and supportive of Oct 7. And you’re ok with that and excusing it.
    They didn’t ask should Israel stop the bombing or should Israel take in refugees.. those would have been understandable.. no.. the people said they were proud of the rape murder and kidnapping. No excuses . None.
