It takes courage to be a leader
Neither do I. Rather, I have a feeling that people living under what is essentially a Mafia presence quickly learn that:I personally don't feel medical professionals are complicit with Hamas.
They do control above ground operations at the hospital. Hope they are closing off tunnels to trap the Command Center under the hospital.Unless the Al-Qassam Brigades are camped out under al-Shifa Hospital, I doubt it.
As we've said before, there's a lot going on that we aren't privy to (which is good).They do control above ground operations at the hospital. Hope they are closing off tunnels to trap the Command Center under the hospital.

In the meantime, IDF will work to secure tunnel entries surrounding the hospital.Raiding Gaza’s Shifa Hospital
Israel will likely mobilize special forces to storm Shifa due to site’s sensitivity & expected resistance; troops will enter from several directions in pinpoint operation to minimize casualties. After initial takeover comes phase 2...
Once hospital is secured, IDF will go after Hamas command centers in tunnels below; engineering forces will come in to probe tunnels with specialized tech gear before deciding on entry; number of Hamas terrorists in bunker unknown at this time.
Proud of their service, sad they had to give all."Israel's dogs of war:
The IDF's four-legged fighting force that's being deployed in some of Gaza's most dangerous territory to hunt down Hamas -
and has already suffered fatalities fighting terrorists."

Israel's dogs of war: The IDF's four-legged fighting force in Gaza
The dogs, who are part of the Oketz unit, are trained to sniff out explosives, locate hidden threats and tunnel entrances, and track down and maul terrorists.www.dailymail.co.uk
Israeli media reporting that female hair was found in the bunker under Rantisi. They are processing DNA. News from Israel so no link. I believe Daniel Hagari may have mentioned it in one of the videos he released. IMOIn the meantime, IDF will work to secure tunnel entries surrounding the hospital.
I think IDF will take Al Quds first. Bet, we see underground bunkers and tunnels. IDF will collect forensic data and hopefully determine if hostages were held at this facility.

Highly doubtful. US Congress received the latest report on UNRWA Schools teaching the hatred of Israelis in their curriculum and has tabled a bill (tabled in May 2023) to cut their funding. UNRWA Schools employ teachers from the local populae and are funded by donating nations to the tune of 1.6 billon per year.@Vern could the UN/UNRWA face any charges for their actions in enabling Hamas? IMO there will be plenty of evidence to show they have been complicit for a very long time and continue with the hospital situation.
Too controversial, imo. No one will touch it. jmoHighly doubtful.

Same reason "why not" explains why the UN Security Council cannot pass a resolution condemning Hamas terrorist attacks of 7 October 2023, but can pass plenty of them condemning Israel and why they are starngely silent in demanding Hamas Terrorists release ALL hostages now and unconditionally IAW Geneva Conventions & the LoAC.
Russian & Chinese Veto.
DNA and forensics collection were mentioned in the IDF video and the CNN video. Fills in more of the puzzle, what happened to the hostages.Israeli media reporting that female hair was found in the bunker under Rantisi. They are processing DNA. News from Israel so no link. I believe Daniel Hagari may have mentioned it in one of the videos he released. IMO
I don't seem to recall China being "shocked" at Russian Duma members calling for nuclear strikes in Ukraine and on UK.CHINA, OTHER NATIONS CONDEMN ISRAELI MINISTER’S STATEMENT ON NUCLEAR OPTION IN GAZA
UNITED NATIONS — China, many Arab nations and Iran condemned an Israeli minister’s statement that an option in Israel’s war against Hamas could be to drop a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip.

BBM. That message is being conveyed loud and clear. The question remains: is the political leadership of Israel hearing it or does it even care?
