Hamas strike on Israel - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

There is no physical evidence linking Hitler to the holocaust. That is a fact. I would say it's also a fact that the odds of Hitler not knowing about the Holocaust are so comically astromonical they are not even worth writing down.

But, by your own logic, we cannot be sure and should not take it as fact without said proof, despite it being overwhelmingly obvious via common sense even a larva would possess, that he did.

There are reports of booby-traps in Gaza. There have been in every conflict there for years. IDF soldiers have been killed by booby traps. Do you think it's all a great conspiracy? That for the last 20 years Hamas has been the first insurgency/armed forces in world history to not use booby traps?

So where's the denial? Oh yeah, there isn't any, nor did I compare "asking for evidence" to "holocaust denial". It doesn't even make sense. Saying there's no evidence linking Hitler to the holocaust is a) true, b) doesn't remotely suggest the holocaust didn't happen or c) doesn't mean that 99.999% of people don't perfectly believe Hitler was the architect of that crime.

Really it's just you throwing out buzz words because actually you have no answer to the question because it contradicts your nonsense about "booby traps aren't real unless there's hard, independent proof" and rather then actually address that you just deflect.

He looks like he is preoccupied with a hole in a ceiling of some woman's gaff

BTW that's yet another case where they alleged to have found loads of explosives but again, no booby trap.

Looked like an Israeli command centre to me.

Let's be honest, it's because Putins not Muslim, it's as plain as day to see with a lot of posters here.

Of course they are comfortable walking around the vehicle, because the booby trap has been neutralized, it it was still active, they wouldn't go within an asses roar of it. They have special teams to handle VBIEDS. which this vehicle was.

As for proof of booby trapped tunnels here you go from the Times of Israel:-

Five Israeli reserve soldiers were killed during fighting in the northern part of the Gaza Strip on Friday, the Israel Defense Forces announced on Saturday evening, bringing the death toll of soldiers killed during Israel’s ground operation in Gaza to 42.

Of the five soldiers, four were members of the 551st Brigade’s 697th Battalion and were killed by a blast from a booby-trapped tunnel shaft next to a mosque in the Beit Hanoun area. The troops were not inside the tunnel.

The IDF identified them as Maj. (res.) Moshe Yedidyah Leiter, Sgt. Maj. (res.) Yossi Hershkovitz, Master Sgt. (res.) Matan Meir, and Master Sgt. (res.) Sergey Shmerkin.

Remember the bomb was inside tghe tunnel, and the IDF were outside, yet the blast was so severe, it managed to kill them. And people wonder why the IDF are moving very slowly tackling the tunnels

What booby trap? What neutralization? Where are you getting that from?? Where's the bomb squad???

You appear to be playing games now, plagiarizing news reports without deigning to link to them. What's been so challenging today about posting your evidence??? Could have provided that hours ago, when you were asked for any, without the ad hominems or the rants about military experience. Jesus.

Didn't happen near the hospital either.

To who?

When does Israel hand themselves over to the same body for similar war crimes?

When does Israel release its hostages?

"dude"

The soldier made no mention of any booby trapping, whatsoever. "watch for yourself" the tweet from the IDF challenged. The video was watched, and no utterance or mention of a booby trap.

"dude"

Must have missed it then. What post # was that.

This one? You were vague on details, didn't even bother writing out the term booby trap, or even where or indeed when this would have occurred. Didn't bother to link to it and seemed to suggest it was propaganda:

I can’t link it for some reason but the Jerusalem Post has an article today which mentions booby traps in the present conflict.

I'd be inclined to think that in the case of the Egypt / Palestine / Israel, it would be more for Israel checking that no weapons were being trucked in.

One way or another, the IDF will have to 'find' a Hamas command centre at the hospital. They will have to 'find' guns. Surely they can do better than a few rusty guns, surely they can cook up something more convincing or do they not care what the wider world think of them? This is a great opportunity to fully occupy Gaza but they need to make their actions at least slightly plausible.

If you go back a few posts, there's video showing the IDF members in tunnel / room they say is underneath the hospital. They also show a motorbike and some weapons. So, it looks like there are tunnels which are worth the risk (especially as they are looking for evidence that confirms what they say about Hamas using Hospitals, Schools, Apartment block's etc. as cover / human shields) and there are other ones that they consider too dangerous and will have to be taken out by other means.

Heres the quote in question where a booby trap is mentuoned.:-

EXPOSED:

In the Shifa Hospital complex, IDF troops found a hidden booby-trapped vehicle containing a large number of weapons, including:

· AK-47s

· RPGs

· sniper rifles

· grenades

· other explosives

As others have mentioned, that booby trap was well taken care of by a specialized team, who were long gone by the time the all clear was given before anyone was allowed enter the area. Again, I repeat myself, that's SOP for dealing with VBED's. Now I ask you one more time. Who do you think those weapons/ explosives belonged to? Hamas or the IDF?

The Palestinian Ambassador to Ireland making a fool of herself.

"Hamas would definitely respect a ceasefire...!!"

Pity they broke it on October 7th.

.

.

"Hamas is definitely not a terrorist group, they are an integral part of the Palestinian people."

Also refuses to condemn what Hamas did on October 7th.
