    Did Hamas let anyone know they were leaving?

    And the first meme doesn’t play in this situation.

      I would imagine they might have left some kind of trail along with the “undisclosed” intelligence that the US and Israel is claiming they have.

      And the first meme doesn’t play in this situation.

      Yes it does. You just don’t want it to.

        When your second comment asks why it was “no longer” used as a base, “trust us bro” doesn’t work when you’re admitting yourself it was used as a base just prior.

        Perhaps Hamas could let anyone know they’re moving out.

          Go back and read my comment. I never said I believed they were actually using it as a base. I was remarking how “convenient” it was that they claimed there was a base but there happened to be no evidence of the base when they attacked. It’s called sarcasm when my bullshit-o-meter goes off the charts.

          I’d rather Israel let everyone know when they move out.

            Ah gotcha, “didn’t really mean it,” and it isn’t the case that there was no evidence, the assessment was circulated to congress.

              So the evidence presented to the public was debunked but the actual “evidence” was given to Congress in a classified debriefing? And you wonder why people are calling bullshit?

                  bullshit the IDF made up when they said Hamas had a base under a hospital when they blew it up at the beginning of the conflict.

                    Ah, understood, based on my reading, I don’t see anything “debunked.”

                    https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/01/03/hamas-gaza-israel-alshifa-tunnels/

                    The newly declassified information, obtained by U.S. spy agencies, shows that militants destroyed documents and electronics at the complex in advance of the Israel Defense Forces raid, according to U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

                    “We have information that continues to support our conclusion that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad used the al-Shifa Hospital complex and sites beneath it to house command infrastructure, exercise certain command and control activities, store some weapons, and hold at least a few hostages,” said one official. Palestinian Islamic Jihad is another Gaza-based militant group, allied with Hamas in the fight against Israel but under separate command.
