Oh no... Doesn't sound like it's debunked based on the provided sources.

And I thank you for considering me a ninja, despite my edit not embodying the intent I'm suspecting is cast here.

Ah, understood, based on my reading, I don't see anything "debunked."

The newly declassified information, obtained by U.S. spy agencies, shows that militants destroyed documents and electronics at the complex in advance of the Israel Defense Forces raid, according to U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

“We have information that continues to support our conclusion that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad used the al-Shifa Hospital complex and sites beneath it to house command infrastructure, exercise certain command and control activities, store some weapons, and hold at least a few hostages,” said one official. Palestinian Islamic Jihad is another Gaza-based militant group, allied with Hamas in the fight against Israel but under separate command.

What was debunked?

Comparing which number of sites is bigger... K.

I see no reason to subscribe to this theory.

Edit: and you were taking about expansion, not genocide...

I was confused on if it’s a dude calling for the death of Israel or just a dude against zionistic imperialistic expansion of Israel into his country who is rightfully pissed.

Ah gotcha, "didn't really mean it," and it isn't the case that there was no evidence, the assessment was circulated to congress.

When your second comment asks why it was "no longer" used as a base, "trust us bro" doesn't work when you're admitting yourself it was used as a base just prior.

Perhaps Hamas could let anyone know they're moving out.

Did Hamas let anyone know they were leaving?

And the first meme doesn't play in this situation.

While unsure about the Qatari hospital, this is not unfounded.

The U.S. intelligence assessment was reported first by the New York Times. A classified version of the assessment was sent to lawmakers in the U.S. Congress.

Israeli tanks advanced on Gaza City's Al Shifa hospital, with some patients still inside, in mid-November. Israel said the hospital sat atop tunnels housing headquarters for Hamas fighters using patients as shields, which Hamas denied.

Israeli assessment's was at least partially correct that some hostages were held at or under the complex but those hostages appeared to have been moved as Hamas evacuated, the New York Times reported.

In November, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said, opens new tab Hamas militants were sheltering themselves in the hospital and using the facility as a shield against military action, placing patients and medical staff at risk.

"We have our own intelligence that convinces us that Hamas was using Al Shifa as a command and control node, and most likely as well as a storage facility," Kirby said in November. Washington had at the time not declassified the sources of the U.S. intelligence.

Ynet is considered center-left by Israeli standards. They oppose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, such as this Naftali Bennett: The right-wing millionaire who may end Netanyahu era and support the left-leaning labor party Isaac Herzog elected 11th president of State of Israel.

A review of numerous articles reveals them to be fact-based with a left-leaning bias. Ynet is also used as a reference for fact-checkers.

Overall, we rate Ynetnews as Left-Center Biased based on editorial positions that moderately favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record. (D. Van Zandt 5/19/2017) Updated (12/08/2023)

Anytime. Just in case clarification helps, ~~Khamenei is the supreme leader of Iran, and~~ Iran and Israel do not share a border.
