As per the article you cited:

“We are absolutely confident in the intelligence ... that Hamas was using it as a command and control node,” a senior administration official told The Post last week, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive findings. “Hamas had been holding the hostages in the hospital compound until shortly before Israel went in.”

The U.S. government has not made any of the declassified material public and the official would not share the intelligence this assessment was based on.


By definition, WP does not have access to classified evidence.

So is there evidence of Al Shifah being used by Hamas in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention?

You: "Absolutely no evidence! A WaPo investigation concluded pretty much the same thing! And... and... a lie, sham, torture, bogus, pretext, no excuse, and... wounded child!"

WP: " Ummm... not so fast. No conclusive evidence based on our analysis of open-source visuals, satellite imagery and public statements. Without a complete understanding of Israeli intelligence and its battle plans, the legality of Israel’s military operations against al-Shifa remains an open question to us."

A senior US administration official: "Absolutely yes, We are absolutely confident in the intelligence ... that Hamas was using it as a command and control node".

Quite a divergence of opinions between your conclusions and the source you are citing, (mainly on the subjects not cited by your source, BTW), no?
