Hamas attacks Israel

@bachophile , impressive.
WHat's the general sense of how things are over there?
Still very post traumatic and the anguished decisions that have to be made about possible deals for hostages are gut wrenching.
Also the realization that this is going to be a long stretch of time until things normalize. A lot of people understand that as soon as the south is dealt with, the northern border will be next.
So things are not so easy

Looks like the hospital staff is pretty involved.

Okay, so, involved but with culpability that's hard to untangle.

What an idiot. What happens to them if they “tell the truth”. No one with a knife at their throat is ‘culpable’.

That's what the doc in the other video said - but he explained how "everyone knows" there's shady shit going on.
Wonder to what extent they tried to tell anyone outside the hospital?

As @jon-nyc points out, with a knife to the throat, probably not at all.
However, it's been known for at least 10 years that Hamas had a huge, illegal, presence there. Even CNN (iirc) reported it back in 2014.

I don't mean when they're in the hospital, I mean when they're outside the hospital.

Who would ever decide that’s worth the risk? What’s the upside?
Israel already figured some hostages were there. Very little intelligence value in a confirmation. At best it would have given Israel a few fleeting points in the daily twitter cycle skirmish.
Who’s risking their life for that?

Kind of surprised there’s a woman in that group.
Well, I’m assuming the person in the bag is a woman.
