BBC World Service are reporting on this in tones of disbelief, but it sounds plausible to me:

Do you have a proof about hezbolla having a secret cash bunker in the hospital?

Do I have proof? Why on Earth are you asking me for proof?

You’re surprised people don’t believe that hezbollah has got a cash bunker. I think people just don’t believe that the cash bunker is in the hospital and several journalists that have visited the hospital deny this accusation.
I do believe that hezbollah has got the cash somewhere just don’t believe it’s in the hospital and also that even if it was this shouldn’t be a reason to strike the hospital.

Under the hospital, not in the hospital - the IDF was clear about that.

Half of London has Tube lines under it, they don't have access to them through some secret door in their cellar though.

Why didn't they share this proof with the US then? Why did the put out a statement to say they have seen no proof of this which the IDF claims?

RecycleMePlease · 23/10/2024 18:39

I'm not in the IDF, I don't know what proof they have, or who they should share that proof with.

I'm just pointing out, that all this nonsense about no-one finding the bunker in the hospital is mis-direction, as the IDF say it's under the hospital and accessed via tunnels from either side.

What did the journos do, wander into the hospital reception and look around?!

They had free access to the entire hospital. Why don't you watch a news report and see what they have to say?

OrangeBlossomBlue · 23/10/2024 18:44

It’s not IN the hospital it’s UNDER the hospital with entry and exit points separate from the hospital.

Yet the IDF has no proof of this.

They just like to bomb, much easier and quicker than trying to create proof.

How do you know so much? No evidence has yet been provided

That's not verified evidence yet

Dulra · 23/10/2024 18:59

I'm not claiming it's not true I would just hope better evidence is provided and a plan for how to access it which doesn't involve bombing a hospital

There's literally no evidence in that video.

EasterIssland · 23/10/2024 19:17

I would like to see real proof and verified. Just In case what they think it’s the names of hezbollah members ends up being the days of the week like in Gaza.

Maybe names of the months this time? I see their PR hasn't improved much since that embarrassing blunder.

PR was never the strong point, if it was we might not have seen quite so many pogroms

There was a clip going around from a Lebanese news guy who tried to go to see the entrance the IDF mentioned and was blocked by Hezb members. I’ll see if I can find a link. The easiest thing to do would be sending the Lebanese army in to check.

User37482 · 23/10/2024 20:22

Clearly theres something there otherwise hezb would have given the a guided tour of that too. May not be money, may be arms.

User37482 · 23/10/2024 20:27

I think the point is that they know no-one will check. There was a tour of a hospital when the IDF never said there were routes to the bunker. It was just a bit of a show. They said it was next door and no-one bothered to knock on next door, or if they did they were turned away.

The easiest thing in the world is for the Lebanese army to go in and say “look theres nothing there, don’t bomb the hospital” but of course no-ones going to do that because a paramilitary group occupies the site.

They can’t move whatever’s there because Israel is watching and so is the public. They can’t have people going in and out because it helps the IDF identify hezbollah members. It’s quite clever really. They just have to periodically put a statement out saying “theres a shit ton of money over there” and hezbollah can’t use it (i.e. to pay it’s staff) It also means they don’t have to actually bomb the hospital.

EasterIssland · 24/10/2024 22:52

One of the journalists has been back to the hospital after idf said they weren’t looking in the right place

The density of hospitals in Gaza and Lebanon is incredible. Loads of them. Far more than you get here for the comparable population levels.
