    I only saw a couple old rifles. Is that a terrorist control node? I bet American hospitals have more guns.

    Al-Shifa lost power, what, 5 days ago? Prior to that, the MRI machine would presumably have been on. Anyone with ANY experience in a hospital should know that MRI machines and metals (like guns, ammunition) REALLY don’t mix.

      Also, telecoms have been down since last Wednesday. I’m telling you, IDF has bulldozers and no one independent to verify what they’re really doing or ‘finding’ there. I wouldn’t put it past them to dig the tunnels themselves. And they’d still manage to fuck up.

      Perception is key, they’ve built this image of being ultra smart and tech savvy etc… Nope, all gone now.

      Yes and no. MRI’s require large amounts of cryogens (LN2, LHe) which would likely be impossible to get during the siege. The magnets likely quenched well before.

        Don’t those cryogens only boil off in significant quantities of the machine can’t get power?

        Like, isn’t that the whole reason MRI machines are never turned off?

          The cryogens boil off at a pretty consistent rate no matter what, but the recovery/recompression systems do require power. So once power is cut, any boil off isn’t recovered.

          Superconducting magnets (like in MRIs) can run effectively forever when at the right temperature. Turning them off requires a complex process of draining off that current slowly and carefully so that the magnet isn’t damaged. Hard to do on a normal day, and profoundly harder if there’s no power.

      I love the Israeli photos of WD-40 cans… as if a hospital wouldn’t use that.

      I got a can in my garage right now. Perhaps, there is a Hamas tunnel there.

        Heck, it’s Gaza, I wouldn’t be surprised to find a gun or two hidden anywhere.

        Though hiding guns right next to an MRI machine seems like a bit of a problem if you ever want to turn the MRI machine on.

          It’s an active war zone. If someone comes in armed and injured, I assume they strip them. Then some poor janitor or orderly has to play makeshift armory guard until they can figure out the proper way to dispose of grenades and transfer weapons.

            For sure. My point was that including it with weapons isn’t crazy it could actually have came from a fighter. It’s just way more likely it was taken from a downed combatant and seized so they don’t have access to it during treatment like every other combat clinic rather than some a elaborate stashhouse Israel claims it to be.

            It’s not a statement in support if either position and to be clear I’m fairly sure Israel is lying because they have a track record of just that.

              Fair enough.

              It seems absurd that this is Israel’s evidence of SECRET COBRA TERRORIST LAIR by Hamas.

                It is very very weak evidence for a place they claimed was a centre of gravity not a week ago while claiming they know at least some of it’s hidden structure.

    I mean, as soon as the US decided to withholds its information on the matter we already knew the answer.

    Israel is a bunch of lying shitbags. Can’t trust them anymore than Russia.

    But but but I saw the IDF drop of a stack of random legal file boxes with taped on print outs that said in English “Medical Supplies”! They’re the good guys!

    I’m just waiting for the mist of war to be over to see the actual truth. No proof can be verified now, and no actual real proof would be trusted by left media coverage. No information will be shown for the coming days.

    Just wait a few weeks then actually form an opinion on whether or not this war is justified, since without confidential information, nobody but Hamas, the U.S, and Israel knows.
