But I don’t think that staging the odd false flag attack and making accusations to stoke up tensions around everything is beyond them, in fact I’m pretty sure it’s part of their playbook.

Hamas value the lives of Palestinians arguably less than Israel.
It’s the same health ministry that’s been documenting casualties for over a week. That said, cynicism is probably warranted and I’ll be equally cynical of inevitable IDF denials since the optics are atrocious in particular with Biden in town.

An even wiser man suggested topic rests earlier, I’m sure things will be clearer tomorrow either way so I’m calling it a night.
