"Oh sorry, Hamas actually was never in northern Gaza in the hospital we've been claiming they've been in for years, in the imaginary tunnels we claimed existed with an extensive multi-leveled underground structure we even made a 3D video for.

No, actually, they've been in this other hospital in southern Gaza this whole time, the area we told everyone from northern Gaza to go to and totally aren't just using as an excuse to continue the invasion into the rest of the country."

Isn’t this just saying the central command center is elsewhere? This isn’t a denial that Hamas’ have been using multiple hospital’s basements for command centers.

Obligatory fuck bibi and the IDF for the genociders that they are, so with that out of the way, why defend people that use the injured as a shield?

The White House on Tuesday said it had its own intelligence that Hamas was using Gaza's largest hospital Al Shifa to run its military operations, and probably to store weapons, saying those actions constituted a war crime.

"We have information that confirms that Hamas is using that particular hospital for a command and control mode" and probably to store weapons, national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters aboard Air Force One. "That is a war crime."

He said the United States had information that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were using some hospitals in the Gaza Strip, including Al Shifa, to conceal or support their military operations and to hold hostages.

He said those groups were also prepared to respond to Israeli military operations against that facility.

That information came from a variety of intelligence methods, he said, adding that the Biden administration had downgraded the classification level of some of the data on Tuesday so it could share its conclusions with reporters.

Kirby underscored that Hamas' actions in the hospitals did not lessen Israel's responsibility to protect civilians, but acknowledged that it made Israel's efforts to root out Hamas more complicated.

"To be clear, we do not support striking a hospital from the air. We do not want to see a firefight in a hospital where innocent people, helpless people, sick people are simply trying to get the medical care they deserve," he said.

Didn't Biden say that he had seen himself the supposed pictures of the beheaded babies, only to be corrected by the White House?
