Skimmed and scanned because I can't let myself care about this mess until Israel is in existential danger - because that's the day they'll look for an actual solution. A 1-state gives away votes that they won't, 2-state gives away land that they won't. They will give nothing until they are in mortal peril. When the Arab states around them are rich and powerful, that is. It is very, very difficult for me to believe that all the war around Iran/Iraq/Syria for nearly 40 years is not the result of efforts to slow that development.
But I did stop to follow your links about the hospital indeed being a military asset, and I saw the same footage, opposite conclusion:
...the tunnel entrance is nearly 100m from the hospital building; the basement does NOT have a batcave pole down to the Hamas Lair. Indeed, the shaft near the hospital is about a half-metre in diameter, could only pass one or two people per minute, up or down. The footage of hostages, looks like the hospital is being used as a hospital and the hostages needed treatment, particularly the guy in a gurney. It does not look like it was their storage place.
But, again: the entire war - and the right name for it is "The Israeli Civil War", obviously - is pointless until Israel is forced to a deal, which nobody is able to, in this generation. So I can ignore the place at will, save to encourage they immigrate to Canada.
