    That doesn’t answer either question. Even if they found a cache of weapons and vests, that doesn’t mean the people they have arrested were the ones responsible for hiding them. Giving them to the people to hold to “prove” they are terrorists is just theater. I’m sure you know that the IDF is perfectly capable of putting rifles in people’s hands.

      Well I’m in contrary, not sure, and this statement remains false until you prove this statement regarding this article, with a reliable source, otherwise.

        Do you really think the IDF would allow them to walk out of that compound with loaded rifles in their hands? Or do you think it’s much more likely that the IDF unloaded all of those rifles, if they were ever loaded in the first place, gave them to the men, and then had them walk out?

        Because the IDF are really fucking stupid if it’s the former.

          I’m no professional militant and I wasn’t there, so I have no comment.

          If you can prove otherwise relating to this article, with a reliable source, the facts remains as stated in the article.

            It’s not my job to prove the article is wrong. The article makes the claim and fails to prove the claim. I do not have to prove anyone is telling a lie. It’s not my job.

            Anyway, I never said the article was wrong. I asked questions- questions you have not even attempted to answer.

          While I generally agree with you, I do need to point out that those rifles are unloaded and it is common for enemy combatants to be forced to carry their non-combat-functional equipment this way as a method of capturing equipment.

        There was literally an article three days ago on the BBC that showed that the IDF did exactly that.

        The IDF has been lying this entire time - a bunch of the casualties from the October 7th attack were caused by the IDF themselves.

          They weren’t, it’s a conspiracy theory

          Oh, so these people speaking arabic cutting the womb of the mother and stabbing the baby while it’s still alive are also IDF. Who would have thought. Good thing you straightened that up for all of us. It seems Israel really had to come up with a reason to go against Hamas, since the rest of the claims are fake.

          To which article are you referring?
