They found underground shafts that were built by Israel. They did not find evidence of it being used as a Hamas command center

Thank you for this simple, clear, propaganda-free answer. I stopped trying to find one because it was buried under wildly different kinds of bullshit depending on the perspective of who responded. I’m not surprised that OP had to ask.

I dont think its hard to find accurate information on this war, you just need to know which sources have creditability.

Theres even great Israeli news sources, such as 972 magazine and human rights groups B'tselem and Breaking the Silence.

In the UK theres Middle East Eye. And in the US theres Mondoweiss, The Electronic Intifada, Democracy Now, and The Intercept. Also Human Rights Watch and Amnisty International have published excellent reports.

On the ground in Gaza, Aljazera probably has the best daily coverage.

That was the trouble - I didn’t know which sources were credible. I do now, though! Thanks!

If you trust that random person's opinion I guess. Not saying they're wrong (I don't know) but just because this person trusts these sources, doesn't make the sources trustworthy automatically. Always question the perspectives and motivations of the writing.

They’ve got the word “library” right in their username! They must be factually correct about everything!

No, of course not. It was a bunker Israel had built in the 1980s that Hamas doesn't use because Hamas doesn't use hospitals or schools.
