    I don’t see what you think I got wrong about the story.

    You realize the tunnels shafts are usually concealed right? They apparently walk right past them all the time. That’s how tunnel warfare works. There are 500 miles of tunnels inside a 25 mile wide area. It’s really inconcievable to you that there was a tunnel under this camp? That Hamas was literally using the tunnels because it was a humanitarian area, just like they do with every public institution, hospitals and so fourth. This is their strategy, Hamas and their loyal fans.

    I don’t find IDF’s claim here dubious at all. It’s a hell of a lot more credible just at face value than you’re giving it credit for, at any rate. Seems obvious I’m talking to someone who only regards Israeli people as evil, attributes everything to malice.

      The IDF cleared the area and then chose to designate it as a safe zone. That’s 100% their responsibility if they herded and encouraged civilians there. Israeli intelligence has a pretty detailed map of the tunnels and have been citing them widely. I do not believe they suddenly discovered a tunnel (since they’re not even claiming a tunnel existed, merely that the Hamas people were underground). AND spokesman Daniel Hagari said that Israel only used two 17kg bombs, which isn’t enough to reach or destroy a tunnel.

      Nope, but keep looking for reasons to dismiss everyone you disagree with so nobody can affect your beliefs with new facts or evidence or logical arguments.
