Hamas attacks Israel

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.

[Copper]

I think there are 2 women.

Myself, I just assumed it was a droid.

"Cease fire" in the works.

4 days of "reduced hostilities." Hamas will release 50 hostages and the Israelis will exchange a multiple of that number of their prisoners.

[Mik]

Chicken feed.

[jon-nyc]

Tell that to those 50 families.

If I was the U.S., I would very quietly and very discreetly turn over every scrap of intel on Hamas leadership to the Mossad. Especially all the electronic and satellite stuff.

Yeah. What do you think the odds are that the Hamas leadership in Qatar and other countries feels safe? Israel has already told them, "We're coming for you."
