Footage widely shared on social media showed a massive blast at Israa University, prompting US President Joe Biden’s administration to ask Israel for clarification.
The IDF, in response to a query, said the demolition of Israa University on January 17 and the approval process of the controlled explosion was “thoroughly investigated” by the head of the Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, and presented to Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi.
According to Army Radio, Hiram claimed that his troops felt in danger due to intelligence that Hamas had a network of tunnels under the university, and feared that its operatives could ambush them.
Unrelated controversy currently surrounds Hiram over his order to fire a tank shell at a home in the southern community of Be’eri amid a hostage situation during Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, possibly killing some of the captives.
Before the war, Hiram was tapped to be the next commander of the Gaza Division, a move that appears to currently be on hold amid the war and the controversy.
What do they think will happen if they destroy all infrastructure and institutions, the only result will be a more violent, more numerous, and more effective resistance. Either they see it as an acceptable price for this orgy of violence, they are to stupid to realize this, or their plans are a lot darker than what we are currently seeing.
They love it when people fight back. Especially because America keeps sending them more bombs when that happens. They can “self defense” all over the place.
Are the “Hamas tunnels” in the room with us right now?
I fire a rocket at my bed each night to make sure there are no Hamas tunnels hiding underneath. I don’t check it first, I just know they’re there.
Video of the university being blown up, a clearly very controlled explosion where the IDF easily walked into rooms and placed explosives. Not something people would do when “endangered by Hamas tunnels”.
Here’s an article with a video of an AP journalist grilling the US state dept on this 1 month ago
Gonna need to split out the links for the video and article at the end. You’ve put two links and at least Jerboa just doesn’t do anything when you click the link.
For the lazy:Whoops thanks for the correction. I initially placed the video but later found the full article which was more fitting. I did not edit my comment correctly.
