Israel’s military has pulled out of al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City after a two-week raid that has left most of the major medical complex in ruins.

Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said dozens of bodies had been found and locals said nearby areas were razed.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had killed 200 “terrorists”, detained hundreds more and found weapons and intelligence “throughout the hospital”.

Good on the BBC for putting the word terrorist in quotes there.

Because most of them were certainly not Hamas, if any of them were.

An IDF spokesman said more than 6,000 people had been in the hospital complex, mostly civilians, at the start of the raid.

6000 people. Who knows how many of those were patients? Who knows how many died not directly from the IDF, but from whatever they were in the hospital for in the first place that they could have been cured of if the hospital was allowed to stay?

But congratulations, IDF. Mission accomplished. I’m sure you destroyed Hamas forever.

    So you’re saying your statements are based purely on emotion rather than any facts. Hardly something appropriate for a post in a news community.

          So I shouldn’t believe what someone else says because of something I said? That doesn’t make any sense.

          And it sounds like something you invented and accused me of…

            What you shouldn’t be doing is inventing fiction claiming that must be what someone else is doing. This is especially true in a news community that is supposed to be non-fiction. Leave your fiction for the Israeli hate communities.

              That’s still not an explanation for why I should trust the IDF.

              It sounds like you can’t come up with one.

                Alright, if you insist on moving the goal posts. Whatever they say is more based on reality than whatever comes out of your imagination. Thus, they should be believed more than your fiction.

                  What goal posts have I moved? I have repeatedly asked you why I should believe them and you have repeatedly not told me, just made personal attacks.

                  Which backs up my claim that you can’t actually explain why the IDF’s claims should be believed.

                  I can’t imagine why you can’t defend the IDF as a trustworthy source of information when they’re in the middle of a genocide.

                    I was saying stop making fictitious claims yet you shifted the goalposts to IDFs integrity.

                    Any other new questions you want answered while ignoring my current response?
