IDF Raid of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza Turns Up Scant Evidence of Hamas Presence

Israel is so far struggling to produce evidence of the much-hyped "Hamas Command Center" they claimed was located inside and below Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza.

After dramatically raiding the building on Wednesday, all the IDF claims they found were a few rifles behind an MRI machine (which could have easily been planted) and some laptops and CDs.

They comically decided to go ahead and claim the MRI center was "Hamas' operational command center" because of the illicit laptop and CDs.

Our forces found weapons, technological equipment and Hamas’ operational command center in the MRI building of the Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

🇵🇸🇮🇱🚨‼️ BREAKING: IDF finds “grab bag” with weapons behind an MRI machine!

Problems:
1) The MRI is a strong magnet
2) The grab bag is very easy to carry, by Hamas out or by IDF in pic.twitter.com/rrFWyvnCi7

The whole operation was clearly "made for TV."

In Fox News' inspection of the MRI room at Al-Shifa hospital there are clearly two visible AK47's behind the machine. Yet when the IDF Spokesman inspected the room earlier there was only one.

Clear tampering with the "evidence" by the IDF,

We were previously told the "Hamas Command Center" was part of an elaborate tunnel network underneath the hospital which Israel portrayed using CGI.

The Shifa Hospital is not only the largest hospital in Gaza but it also acts as the main headquarters for Hamas’ terrorist activity.

🚨Senior Israeli official admits they KNEW there were NO hostages in al-Shifa.

He said the raid was merely a "symbol that there is no place we will not reach" (i.e. nothing is safe in Gaza).

No claim of a "Hamas command center".

Patients within the hospital, meanwhile, are reportedly suffering greatly from Israel's assault.

Tablet Magazine reported in 2014 that Israel knows there's a "secure underground operating room and a tunnel network" beneath the hospital because Israel built it themselves back in 1983 when they still ruled Gaza.

Nonetheless, Israel's i24NEWS reported Thursday that the "tunnel shafts or the basement shafts inside the hospital were blocked with concrete" and the Israeli army is bringing in "bulldozers" to "try and open those shafts and try to reach the basement and possibly the interlacing of underground tunnels underneath the hospitals."

BREAKING🚨 Israel admits there are no tunnels being used under Al Shifa hospital. They are all concreted up. i.e THERE WAS NO HAMAS COMMAND CENTRE under #AlShifaHospital.

They then admit that Israel will dig the tunnels up themselves. Wait what?
Isn't digging tunnels under… pic.twitter.com/em6BwVOuCM

Is Israel going to dig out their own bunker they chose to build under the hospital and the Palestinians later filled with concrete to point to it as evidence of a Hamas tunnel network?
