Just admit you want to kill all Palestinians, Bibi the Big-Eared Butcher.

The Israelis also claimed there was a Hamas base under a cemetery, but their claims about the location were disproven by CNN*: entrances weren't where the Israelis said they were, and tunnels didn't run where the Israelis said they did. Just briefly glancing at this article, I see that the reporters did not or were not given the opportunity to verify several Israeli claims, including

“Twenty meters above us is the UNRWA headquarters,” and "The military said Saturday night that the tunnel began at a UNRWA school"

I'd like to see more evidence before believing Israel here. Especially since they haven't shown the 'UNWRA staff participated in the October attacks' evidence to the UN or several other countries.

* Israel claims a tunnel ran through this Gaza cemetery it destroyed. A visit to the site raised more questions than answers. Or if you prefer video: IDF says they destroyed this Gaza graveyard because of Hamas activity. CNN can't find the evidence.

"A tunnel!!! We better kill another twenty thousand civilians, just in case."

The IDF, probably.

This article seems to allege electrical and communication cables were run through the ground between the UNRWA headquarters and the tunnel network?

If true they buried the lede here. Idgaf where the tunnels are - when you dig a miles long tunnel, it'll go under a lot of unrelated buildings. If however the headquarters was serving as a communication relay and power supply, then that's pretty damning.

Every hospital in my area has basements and tunnels going under parking lots and connecting facility wings.

Hamas really is everywhere.

They are so obsessed with tunnels. Meanwhile 28,000 people have died and hundreds of thousands of people have been rendered homeless in genocide by the hand of Israel. Genociders are trying get us to look elsewhere. What a fucking joke.

It did not prove definitively that Hamas militants operated in the tunnels underneath the UNWRA facility, but it did show that at least a portion of the tunnel ran underneath the facility’s courtyard

Almost 30k dead Palestinians (mostly women and children) to find an electrical supply room and series of tunnels under a building?

Israel is a racist terrorist state.

Leaving the facility, it was nearly impossible to identify one window left fully intact. Bullet holes pockmarked the walls. Shrapnel was everywhere, crumpled-up U.N. vehicles were perched precariously atop building debris. Dogs roamed the area.

"The Israeli army is occupying our biggest UNRWA headquarters,” Touma said in response to Israeli allegations. “That’s what’s outrageous.”

Also of note, Gaza is like what, 4 square miles?

There's tunnels and bomb shelters under literally everything. For reasons that should be obvious now that they're pretty much the only structures left intact

alleging that Hamas militants used the space as an electrical supply room

A Hamas electrical supply room! Maybe there was a Hamas McDonalds down the road as well.

Not the dreaded Hamas electrical supply room!

I checked every basement if every friend around me and in each one I found tunnels and the Hamas headquarters, even though I'm thousands of kilometers away and everything I just wrote is made up. I guess the Israeli military and I have that in common.

Oh, this time I believe them!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Recent Israeli allegations that a dozen staff members participated in the Hamas attack on Israel Oct. 7 plunged the agency into a financial crisis, prompting major donor states to suspend their funding as well as twin investigations.

The unearthed shaft led to an underground passageway that an Associated Press journalist estimated stretched for at least half a kilometer (quarter of a mile), with at least 10 doors.

At one point, journalists were able to gaze upward from the tunnel, through a hole, and make eye contact with soldiers standing in a courtyard within the UNWRA facility.

One of the main objectives of the Israeli offensive has been to destroy that network, which it says is used by Hamas to move fighters, weapons and supplies throughout the territory.

The offensive was launched after Hamas militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing some 1,200 people and dragging 250 hostages back to Gaza.

Since then, Israeli war planes and ground troops have killed over 27,000 Palestinians in the strip, unleashed a humanitarian catastrophe and wreaked widespread damage.
