@Alon @Sherifazuhur @israel @palestine indeed if the IDF is announcing something that cannot be faked and would be extremely detrimental to them among their own admirers if found untrue, they have more credibility.
the how and why part, of course, could still be false.
@matunos @palestine @Alon @israel I’m sorry - I’ve seen mountains of false evidence and it has not abated since 7 Oct. General rule: do not turn to US PAO, or the Egyptian army spokesman or the Shin Bet account for anything but the current official statement which is ephemeral (will change by tomorrow) but part of the info war. All the lies or half lies on tunnels have a purpose - to justify flattening arial bombardment & ground invasions to then “clean out” tunnels. Negotiating would be far preferable.
@Alon @matunos @israel @palestine *which is part of the information war*
@Sherifazuhur @Alon @matunos @israel @palestine As the old adage goes, “truth is the first casualty of warfare”.
It’s always good advice to consider the motivations and biases of any report, and especially so when it’s coming from one of the parties of a conflict.
