It's going to take decades just to unwind this one statement.

Look at the history of Al Shifa hospital and who has been in control of it at what times. It is storied, and messy.

This conflict has added to it in a major way, and may represent the second largest intelligence failure of the IDF in this whole mess (the first being missing the attack all together).

The build up to them taking the hospital, was impressive. Like it was going to be some major turning point in the conflict. They told everyone that there was a base under the hospital, that it was a command center under there for Hamas.

The actual taking of the hospital had some reporters embedded, who were oddly silent about what was found... We did get some good photo opportunities of IDF soldiers standing next to boxes of aid.

Days later the videos come out. We're talking now about the 'hospital complex'. They bulldozed a wall, and then dug a hole to get to a tunnel entrance. The "tunnels" and a rooms went under and were "attached" to a pharmacy next door.

Was this a massive intel failure for the US and the IDF? Did Hamas pull off one of the greatest dis and mis information campaigns of the last 100 years? Did the IDF outright lie to the US? What really happened here is going to be one for the history books and I hope I live long enough to see it unravel.
