This looks so fake, holy shit. Apparently Hamas has a red barrel room straight out of every video game.

It’s a representation of a Garry’s Mod level. I don’t doubt Hamas has bases in tunnels but the base depicted looks so obviously faked, the rooms in it look straight out of a video game. It’s like the Israeli government told a video game addicted intern to make up a Hamas bases in Garry’s Mod to send to the media.

“This is an illustration of Shifa hospital and the underground facilities. I want to repeat, this is only an illustration. We will not share here the true material that we have in our hands. This is only an illustration.” - The dude doing the press conference.

Not only is it not fake, it’s been known for some time, and Amnesty did a whole piece of how Hamas tortures dissidents there.

I don’t see anything there about Hamas punkers looking like an graphic design intern, who plays an excessive amount of FPS games, quickly threw the design together in Garry’s Mod.

I’m not sure how you think this is criticism.

Are you saying you’d be happier if the IDF released a Blizzard Cinematic of the tunnels? Why?

No this is why they’re doing the ground invasion.

Although they did collapse some tunnels with “sponge bombs” that have expanding foam rather than explosives.

Have they already used the sponge bomb? Or not yet?
