Israel claims a tunnel ran through this Gaza cemetery it destroyed. A visit to the site raised more questions than answers | CNN

A week after a CNN investigation found that the Israeli military damaged or destroyed at least 16 cemeteries in Gaza since the beginning of the war, the Israeli military invited CNN into Gaza to explain why it partially destroyed one cemetery.

A spokesman for the Israeli military said they would provide video of the tunnel shaft in the enormous hole, but never did.

Instead, the IDF provided drone footage that showed two other tunnel entrances – one of which CNN entered – near the cemetery. CNN geolocated the tunnel entrances using footage filmed on the ground, as well as satellite imagery, and found that neither was in the cemetery grounds.

The Israeli military stood by its claims, insisting in a press release that a tunnel ran directly through the religious site.

But that press release also undermined Goldfuss’ claim that the underground command center was directly below the cemetery. A map released by the military placed the command center outside the graveyard.

    I don’t think it raised many questions, but it sure answered the one about whether or not you can believe Israel’s bullshit.

      Can’t really believe either side’s bullshit. Need independent verification, but Israel makes that a very risky job, seeing as how they like to shoot anything that moves.

    I’m sure there’s lots of tunnels around there, if you count little animal burrows.
