    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.

            I know you don’t.

            EDIT: Nice ninja edit to add an article to provide “proof”. Except the article also questions it’s validity.

            While U.S. officials say the intelligence community has “high confidence” in its assessment of al-Shifa’s use by Hamas, they have not publicly released visual or audio evidence. The IDF’s claims have also been challenged by a lack of conclusive proof.

            Officials would not elaborate on what type of electronics were destroyed, but the action could suggest that the militants were trying to conceal their presence or prevent Israel from obtaining equipment useful for intelligence purposes.
