Israel set up a miiltary base ~2 miles from the Ker Shalom crossing to prepare for their Rafah Genocide.

Hamas launched a rocket attack on it. Israel used that as pretext to close the Ker Shalom crossing to humanitarian aid.

Mainstream Western propaganda outlets such as Reuters, NYT and BBC are now laundering the lies that Hamas attacked soldiers at the crossing instead of a military base.

Evidence for the military base and the Hamas rocket strike on it

Edit: For people incapable of reading: Haaretz article in the top left image of the original post. Last two lines.

Uhhh… that’s evidence that they are close together, not that its the base that was attacked. Do you have pics of the base or crossing themselves as a comparison?

You’re also missing the fact that regardless of the target, the attack was launched from a civilian structure.

Literally everything is in the post or in my comment. Consider reading before jumping in front of a bullet to shill for israel.

The attack was launched 350+ metres away from a civilian area which is extremely far considering how densely populated Gaza is. But shills gotta shill.

I don’t see evidence that Hamas attacked the base, either. Is a hole in a tent and a picture of a tank that could be taken anywhere there is sand supposed to be evidence?

Hamas doing bad stuff does not absolve the IDF and their Western media henchmen from misrepresenting and exaggerating in order to excuse their actions. Whatever Hamas may or may not be doing, it’s completely immaterial in the face of a fucking genocide.

In what world is defending yourself from a Genocide a bad thing?

You’re also missing the fact that regardless of the target, the attack was launched from a civilian structure.

So:

1-All above-ground structures in Gaza are civilian structures. Do you think Israel would allow Hamas to have an above-ground military base?

2-It was launched 350m from a civilian shelter. In Rafah, one of the most overcrowded cities on Earth. It’s a surprise there’s a place that far from a civilian shelter.

Also actually read the comment and post before replying.
