Israel can't say if it was a strike from Israel at this time. What?
Same as the Hospital explosion. They need to verify that it wasn't any of their planes in the air, boats at sea, or troops on the ground before issuing a statement that it wasn't them.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I would not have a spokesman go on CNN then.
IDF confirms it was their strike now.

"Who is Shlomi Eldar and why is the above interview particularly interesting?
Shlomi Eldar is an Israeli journalist and film director. He served in the Intelligence Corp, received his bachelor’s degree from Tel Aviv University in Middle Eastern studies and political science, and an MA at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He wrote his thesis on the role of security prisoners in the peace process with Israel, where he argued that the peace process began in the prisons, when the psychological barriers between the Israeli warders and the Palestinian prisoners were breached.

Eldar was the first Israeli journalist to interview Yasser Arafat and members of Hamas. He covered the Palestinians during the Second Intifada because he thought it was important to show the other side, and as a result of these activities, has stayed in touch with some on the “other side,” including members of Hamas, as he notes in this interview.

He’s the author of two books: Eyeless in Gaza (Hebrew) and Getting to Know Hamas (Hebrew). Shlomi is also the director of the documentary, “Precious Life”, which was shortlisted for an Oscar and is a two time recipient of the Ophir Prize for Best Documentary.

Shlomi is considered a man of the left, which is important to remember as you listen to his interview ."

Downside to that is when a filter blocks a page for something written there, you have much more blocked.

Don't bunker busters first penetrate then explode? That isn't what was used yesterday and today on the refugee camp?

Sharing for the video, not the tweet caption.

Was wondering if Israel would use bunker busters, considering the damage they would cause. It may sound heartless to say, but I'm glad they did. Trying to destroy that terrorist HQ without them likely would have killed even more people, even if the optics wouldn't have been this bad

But I thought the UN said Hamas wasn't operating in Jabalia?
they meant that hamas wasnt performing any operations, because all the fuel was taken away from hospitals to be used for rockets

https://abualiexpress.com/en/and-here-is-the-recording-with-english-subtitles/

"The IDF spokesman revealed to the international media - this is how the terrorist organization Hamas steals fuel from the hospitals in the Gaza Strip, at the expense of the humanitarian needs of the residents of Gaza

The exposed conversation between the commander of the West Jabaliya battalion of Hamas and a Gazan, with the participation of the director of the Indonesian hospital, is further proof of Hamas's cynical use of humanitarian resources in the Gaza Strip. In addition, the conversation confirms that the terrorist organization Hamas controls the existing energy resources in the Gaza Strip and chooses to channel them for its operational needs at the expense of the needs of the civilian population."

If there are 10 soldiers killed a day (ch"v), national support is going to change very quickly.

This is an example of your answer
