Isn't this the video where they used things like a calendar with regular dates and claimed it was a list of Hamas members?

The entire area they showed looked like the power area of the hospital's basement, with various things on the walls and such that indicate hospital and nothing else.

Their only "evidence" in the videos was the pile of guns they showed, which...isn't really evidence of anything, especially since we have no way to tell if those were planted or not.

Reminds me of Russia's failed attempt to demonstrate that Nazis were in Ukraine by releasing photos of a 'bust' that was obviously staged and includes gems like multiple copies of The Sims video game which were supposed to be sim cards.

Another video distributed by Russian state news agency RIA showed an inscription in an unidentified book supposedly recovered in the arrest — signed in Russian with the words “signature illegible.”

This whole article is just bonkers.

It's so surreal it kind of makes me wonder if it's really a false flag, because they can't be that incompetent... Right?

It's not about being good. It's about generating headlines.

Something about generating doubt, uncertainty and cynicism.

Or they're just that incompetent. I could see that too
