Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I love the Israeli photos of WD-40 cans... as if a hospital wouldn't use that.
I got a can in my garage right now. Perhaps, there is a Hamas tunnel there.
Heck, it's Gaza, I wouldn't be surprised to find a gun or two hidden anywhere.
Though hiding guns right next to an MRI machine seems like a bit of a problem if you ever want to turn the MRI machine on.
It's an active war zone. If someone comes in armed and injured, I assume they strip them. Then some poor janitor or orderly has to play makeshift armory guard until they can figure out the proper way to dispose of grenades and transfer weapons.
Why do you need to turn the MRI machine if you kill them first?
I'm saying it's kind of implausible that those guns were stored there to begin with.
Better bomb the whole block and bulldoze everything to make sure!
That part isn't crazy, it's a pretty common case lube. You rub down higher caliber ammunition with light lube to prevent case jams which are common on things like dushkas.

Also, you can use it for any number of applications around the house including squeaky doors.
For sure. My point was that including it with weapons isn't crazy it could actually have came from a fighter. It's just way more likely it was taken from a downed combatant and seized so they don't have access to it during treatment like every other combat clinic rather than some a elaborate stashhouse Israel claims it to be.
It's not a statement in support if either position and to be clear I'm fairly sure Israel is lying because they have a track record of just that.
Fair enough.
It seems absurd that this is Israel's evidence of SECRET COBRA TERRORIST LAIR by Hamas.
It is very very weak evidence for a place they claimed was a centre of gravity not a week ago while claiming they know at least some of it's hidden structure.
They are show casing some tunnels now but they were sealed off with concrete... so Hamas were not using the tunnels?
How can this be a headquarters or "centre of gravity" if its cut off from everything?
Those tunnels are known to have been there, everyone knew there were a few from past conflicts but them being sealed and clearly not hundreds of miles in span kinda ruins their bullshit talking points.
