What do you mean? Is the argument on the word "system" or? There is a tunnel there apparently (on the hospital grounds), according to many websites (e.g., Reuters but it is partly blocked by rubble so they're not sure where it ends.
"we were justified in bombing the hospital because there was a Hamas tunnel there" is genocide colonialist propaganda to justify a war crime.
That wasn't what was being said. The point he was making was that Israel thought that they could make that accusation safely because they thought that they knew there would be tunnels they could show off because they built them.
No source for this, so grain of salt, but I've heard that the deal with the US for backing their attack on the hospital was that if no tunnels were found, Israel would have to agree to a ceasefire.
A lot of political capital was burned in America with the outcome of that attack on Al-Shifa.
Finally, just to be clear, fuck white supremacist apartheid ethno-states.
I read the comments as the opposite. There is no hamas tunnels, only an Israeli built tunnel and IDF is going to use that to justify bombing a hospital because it's an easy excuse to war crime.
Israel do love them some war crimes
So did some human rights organization say that there are no tunnels or what? I have no idea how your comment relates to my question.
There was a thread here like a week ago about how there was evidence against tunnels being under the hospital.
They seem to be on the hospital grounds (or so the reports I've read seem ro indicate), which sounds to me that it not directly under the hospital building, though it is still partly under rubble so dunno really. Which ties up to my original question that what report is this that op is talking about and what is the argument.
