Maybe not everyone is welcome in the tunnels.
Maybe they were sealed.
Maybe someone had to carry something in a hurry.
Maybe someone misunderstood a command.
Not everything has a point. I can think of three stupid reasons on the spot for why the MRI room:
The room was empty when a fleeing militant wanted to change clothes.
MRI rooms are mostly empty, so it was easy to show the weapons cache in there.
A militant on the ground thinking no one will search for guns in an MRI room because of the magnets.
There are many possible explanation, it could be a room picked at random. It is possible we will get an answer in the future, and it possible we will never know.
But replace MRI with any other type of hospital room and it raises questions, ‘why there!’.
Why in the operation room, why in the morgue, why in the intensive care unit, why in the cleaning room, why in the toilet.
Only if the MRI is on, right? MRIs are magnetized as long as they’re not turned off, I thought? They’re almost never turned off because of the fucky wucky with superconducting magnets.
I mean, sure, but it’s not like incubators and ventilators require that much energy. If all a hospital needed was to power incubators and ventilators, I’m fairly sure the pittance of oil the IDF sent in would have been enough.
It was an example, they need many other things. Climate control (the region is getting cold), light, automatic doors, refrigerators for medication, computer systems, etc.
All running on the same generators, using the same limited supply with unclear replanishment date.
Under such conditions you have to prioritize.
But… Why?
Supposedly, Hamas has oodles of tunnels under al-Shifa. What’s the point in putting weapons in the one place where it’s most dangerous?

In none of those other places are your weapons at risk of spontaneously discharging or detonating. It’s not even close to comparable.

Gaza Strip had power failures and power shortage due to the war. I assumed incubators and ventilators had higher priority than MRI.
