The Collapse of the Media’s Narrative about Gaza

Because the IDF has seized control of much of the Gazan city of Khan Younis, it was able to show reporters the tunnel underneath the European Hospital where Mohammad Sinwar and other Hamas leaders were hiding when they were killed by Israeli airstrikes. Even the New York Times has had to admit that Hamas had buried its military infrastructure beneath a civilian medical facility. And one can see from the photographs that the hospital itself is still standing, which makes it hard to maintain the argument that the IDF destroys hospitals out of sheer cruelty.
