Don’t for a minute think Hamas did this out of humanitarian concern. They slaughtered 1,400 people - mostly civilians - and are still holding 200 people, from babies to the elderly, hostage.

If that number is right then Israel has only scratched the surface. I bet the number is much higher

I would bet no human knows even close to an accurate number, even Hamas leadership.

I believe you'd be correct, sir.

Couldn't find/didn't see the Reuters mention of this.

This is a really long tweet from @GeoConfirmed following up on their initial tweets/comments regarding the parking lot strike. It is worth the read, but I won't copy/paste all of it.

GeoConfirmed Announcement.
What led to the hospital courtyard explosion (Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital) has been a subject of discussion.
To shed light on our initial view on this matter, we’d like to clarify that our team conducted a thorough geolocation analysis of more than 35,000 videos related to the Ukrainian-Russian conflict through GeoConfirmed. Through this process, we’ve gained valuable insights, notably the importance of verifying claims from both sides involved. We’ve previously debunked official statements based on geolocations.
As the footage of the hospital explosion surfaced and our team was looking into the footage, it became evident that the world was incensed, largely due to communications from Palestinian Authorities and other sources. In a matter of hours, these sources asserted casualty figures ranging from over 500 to 1000 deaths and the complete destruction of the hospital.
Our team has encountered thousands of explosion and bombardment videos. The damage/casualties claims based on the footage we were geolocating did not align with any of the videos we’ve viewed over the past years. Additionally, counting more than 500 deceased individuals would be a task requiring days, not mere hours.
Our team conducted a preliminary analysis based on the information and footage available at that time. OSINT analysis can be inherently time-sensitive, as new and more informative footage may emerge, potentially contradicting our prior analysis. Our intent was to demonstrate that there was no foundation for the initial Palestinian communication and that alternative theories were plausible. We never anticipated that this would gain such widespread attention; otherwise, we would have selected our wording more carefully.

I haven't watched any of it so this may be plausible but on the surface

I'll bet they have a lot of negative things to say about Israel. Only reason Hamas would let them go.

Hamas sent 300 fighters through the wall, other Palestinians groups, and individuals took advantage of the breaches afterwards.

A regional war is the most likely outcome, and it has the potential to be catastrophic.

You just replied to yourself, so are you your own serial downvoter?

No, I'm not. Nice gotcha attempt though.

Yep, including what sure does appear to be just random Palestinian people looking to get their shots in.

I'm not really trying to impugn their character, just looking at it from Hamas' POV and wondering why they let these two go. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it wasn't for humanitarian reasons.
