That’s unpossible!
That is an interesting way of saying weapons were planted.
They sue newspapers and media that say anything unfavourable about them. That’s why BBC and other outlets are being super careful what and how they word shit.
A part of that 14 billion is going to propaganda and lawyers to sway public opinion.
Is there any coverage on lawsuits like that?
The video suggested that they coulda mighta maybe planted evidence to disguise war crimes.
From seed or from sapling?

Be skeptical of everything since it has increasingly become clear that propaganda is what will win this war.
But this is not an NCIS investigation. Weapons and evidence need to be checked for booby traps and reporters can’t show pictures of mutilated corpses on the front page. Of course things will be rearranged.
From what I have seen so far it doesn’t really matter if it was arranged. There just isn’t much evidence of a command center. Sure there may have been a few AKs and a tunnel but that’s hardly a command center.
It’s not just rearranged, it’s different stuff.
I liked the part in the IDF released video where they explicitly say it’s a one shot no edits video and make a big deal of it… until the obvious edit a little over 6 mins in…

I love the Israeli photos of WD-40 cans… as if a hospital wouldn’t use that.
I got a can in my garage right now. Perhaps, there is a Hamas tunnel there.
Heck, it’s Gaza, I wouldn’t be surprised to find a gun or two hidden anywhere.
Though hiding guns right next to an MRI machine seems like a bit of a problem if you ever want to turn the MRI machine on.
It’s an active war zone. If someone comes in armed and injured, I assume they strip them. Then some poor janitor or orderly has to play makeshift armory guard until they can figure out the proper way to dispose of grenades and transfer weapons.
Better bomb the whole block and bulldoze everything to make sure!
That part isn’t crazy, it’s a pretty common case lube. You rub down higher caliber ammunition with light lube to prevent case jams which are common on things like dushkas.
Also, you can use it for any number of applications around the house including squeaky doors.
For sure. My point was that including it with weapons isn’t crazy it could actually have came from a fighter. It’s just way more likely it was taken from a downed combatant and seized so they don’t have access to it during treatment like every other combat clinic rather than some a elaborate stashhouse Israel claims it to be.
It’s not a statement in support if either position and to be clear I’m fairly sure Israel is lying because they have a track record of just that.
Fair enough.
It seems absurd that this is Israel’s evidence of SECRET COBRA TERRORIST LAIR by Hamas.
It is very very weak evidence for a place they claimed was a centre of gravity not a week ago while claiming they know at least some of it’s hidden structure.
They are show casing some tunnels now but they were sealed off with concrete… so Hamas were not using the tunnels?
How can this be a headquarters or “centre of gravity” if its cut off from everything?
Keeping metal near a MRI machine?
That is the big oddity.

I mean, the machine has likely been off for at least a week. Which means it is a big hunk of metal in a reinforced room. Sounds like the kind of “last stand” that requires destruction of significant parts of the hospital.

Yeah the mri magnet is always on, 24/7, you literally can’t store them there. I assume when they lost electricity they must have quenched the magnet (released all the helium that keeps the coils in a super cooled super conducting state). That’s the only way to actually turn it off. Very expensive and time consuming to get going again after that too. If those were in the room before the mri magnet was quenched, well, they wouldn’t be very useful as guns any more, and the mri machine would probably be totaled too. So most likely any metal in that room would only have been put there recently. Go look up mri safety videos if you wanna see what happens when you bring metal into the room.
Al-Shifa lost power, what, 5 days ago? Prior to that, the MRI machine would presumably have been on. Anyone with ANY experience in a hospital should know that MRI machines and metals (like guns, ammunition) REALLY don’t mix.
Yes and no. MRI’s require large amounts of cryogens (LN2, LHe) which would likely be impossible to get during the siege. The magnets likely quenched well before.
Don’t those cryogens only boil off in significant quantities of the machine can’t get power?
Like, isn’t that the whole reason MRI machines are never turned off?
The cryogens boil off at a pretty consistent rate no matter what, but the recovery/recompression systems do require power. So once power is cut, any boil off isn’t recovered.
Superconducting magnets (like in MRIs) can run effectively forever when at the right temperature. Turning them off requires a complex process of draining off that current slowly and carefully so that the magnet isn’t damaged. Hard to do on a normal day, and profoundly harder if there’s no power.
Ahh, makes sense. That’s so cool! Do you know what kind of priority a hospital would have if they were to ration electricity? Would an MRI machine be high on that list?
No idea, but if it were up to me I’d spend that rationed power on ventilators and such keeping patients alive. Losing cryogens stinks, but you can top them off without any power as long as you have stock or deliveries. And I’d rather a magnet quench than have to explain to a dead person’s family that their loved one’s life was less valuable than some helium and a chunk of ceramic.
Weren’t they still doing surgeries at al-Shifa up until the power went out? I’d imagine that an MRI might be useful for diagnosing issues prior to surgery…
Beats me. I’m just a chemist who managed my facility’s NMR magnets (built like MRIs but with different electronics for chemical analysis) for a few years. We had to pull some stunts to keep those magnets alive sometimes, but it was always a matter of how soon, not if, a shipment of cryogens would arrive. Can’t imagine trying to keep MRIs from quenching in a war zone.
Probably first on the “turn this off” list, its ultimately a diagnostic tool and when it comes to rationing power life support equipment has first priority. Its an insanely power hungry device and shutting it off could let you run dozens of ventilators etc.
So, does that make it primarily useful for if the hospital is looking to do surgery?
IIRC al-Shifa was still doing complicated surgeries really late into the conflict.
Not necessarily, an MRI is great to have but not necessary to carry out surgery, while something like ventilation absolutely is.
Power usage of an MRI machine is pretty mega, it’d be hugely wasteful to prioritise running it vs even just keeping fuel in reserve.
Also, telecoms have been down since last Wednesday. I’m telling you, IDF has bulldozers and no one independent to verify what they’re really doing or ‘finding’ there. I wouldn’t put it past them to dig the tunnels themselves. And they’d still manage to fuck up.
Perception is key, they’ve built this image of being ultra smart and tech savvy etc… Nope, all gone now.
Just sprinkle some Hamas on 'em. Open and shut case.
I mean, as soon as the US decided to withholds its information on the matter we already knew the answer.
Israel is a bunch of lying shitbags. Can’t trust them anymore than Russia.
Agreed. If the us had proof they would share in an instant
I’m just waiting for the mist of war to be over to see the actual truth. No proof can be verified now, and no actual real proof would be trusted by left media coverage. No information will be shown for the coming days.
Just wait a few weeks then actually form an opinion on whether or not this war is justified, since without confidential information, nobody but Hamas, the U.S, and Israel knows.
