Israel's military has released footage it says shows gunmen at an Unrwa facility in southern Gaza.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released drone footage that it said showed armed “terrorists roaming and shooting” next to marked UN vehicles at the facility in eastern Rafah on Saturday.

She stressed that UN staff had evacuated the compound prior to Saturday, leaving behind some vehicles and food aid. She said under no circumstances should anyone have or use weapons in a UN facility.

A review commissioned by the UN said Israel had not provided evidence to back up the claim, but it found that Unrwa should improve its neutrality, staff vetting and transparency.

    Every member? Nah. But you can bet relative to most of the world’s armies, they’re really good.

    Also maybe if so many people keep telling you that the condition Hamas created are horrible and it’s mostly their fault… Maybe listen?

      Why can I bet that? Based on what?

      And maybe if so many people keep telling you that Israel is committing war crimes… Maybe listen?

      Or does it not work both ways?

        Based on the link I sent literaly 2 comments above this.

        And I would 100% believe people pointing to war crimes, if it weren’t an ongoing trial with a defense and lack of evidence so far.

        I’m totally down to punish war crimes, but when there’s no proof, or if the proof is based on words instead of actions, then I don’t like to take that seriously.

        Meanwhile the only war crime that was proven to be done in Gaza is not allowing food and water to go in. And that’s not the IDF, that’s the Israeli government’s policy. A government so right wing that the people of Israel were in protests over it for months. Anyone from that government going to jail is a blessing.

          Your link is not trustworthy and if I did not have a policy of not moderating my own discussions, I would have deleted your post because of it. Find a more trustworthy link.

          And now you’re not only saying that every bad thing that the IDF does inside Gaza’s borders is Hamas’ fault, now you’re saying anything the IDF does at Israel’s border is not their fault either.

          So the IDF is faultless at all times to you. It’s the world’s most perfect military.

          Also, interesting that you didn’t respond to the fact that your “Maybe listen?” comment works both ways…

            Not trusting the numbers in that source is fair, but I’ve yet to see any other numbers who make their point different. Civilian/militant ratio in Gaza is low (relative to similar dense urban warzones), and I’ve yet to see anyone saying otherwise.

            And when did I mention the IDF in Israel’s border? I pointed out how right wing and bad the Israeli government is, and how the only legit (based on facts) critisizm I saw was directed at the Israeli government, not the army. How that have anything to do with the IDF’s actions inside Israel is beyond me.

            And again, I responded to the “maybe listen” comment and said I am listening and the only thing which was proven to be true is the food and water thing. Which again - has nothing to do with the army.

            I’ll also add that the “maybe listen” part about Hamas’ war crimes works, since their crimes are heavily recorded and with solid proofs. Unlike the war crimes allegations of genocide, which are currently mainly based on words said, and not actions done in Gaza. Just read the south african allegations, and the Israeli response to those allegations. It’s laughable.
