The BBC enters hospital with Israeli forces and views small cache of weapons and other items they say were found there.

In the brightly lit corridors of the MRI unit, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus shows us three small stashes of Kalashnikovs, ammunition and bullet-proof vests - he says they have found around 15 guns in all, along with some grenades.

The laptops, he says, contain photos and videos of hostages, taken after their kidnap to Gaza. There is also recently released footage, shared by Israeli police, of their interrogations of Hamas fighters arrested after the October attacks. The BBC was not shown what was on the laptops.

Israeli reports are showing images of the laptop open with images of a hostage - with footage attributed to Fox News (the other international news outlet who were escorted through Al-Shifa).

EDIT: the images appear to be from before October 7th per Times of Israel.

    Wasn’t it just last week everyone was saying journalists embedded with religious extremists who intend to commit atrocities are complicit in any acts they chronicle? What changed?

    Nothing? Their opinion is still fucking dumb. It was last week, it was before that, and it will continue to be.

    The BBC have been fairly cynical in their reporting on Israel throughout this conflict while still remaining impartial. They’ve been running a ‘verify’ segment, the most recent of which specifically questioned the claim of whether their were tunnels over the hospital.

    Implying they are complicit is a pointless attempt to further divide the general public on a hot button topic.
