Bomb shelters in Gaza are a little difficult because all the room underground is already full of Hamas stockpiles and tunnels.
Hamas tunnels are in the outlying areas, the city keeps parking underground in some areas but claims of massive stockpiles are unsubstantiated. There are zero videos of secondary explosions in city spaces, one in a semi-suburban area in north Gaza, and zero footage of any transit of munitions into or out of the city. Almost all rocket sites struck have been in the underdeveloped hills, too far for a hike.
The city has parking, and Israel has already struck the garages easily, once outside Al Jezeera's office in Gaza, presumably for better photo ops. No justification has been given for striking that location.
Fuckface,
I and a sizeable number of the rest of this forum have spent the last couple days staring out at Gaza from livestreams.
How did all of those buildings get there? Are you telling me that at no point in the last 60 years of continuous low-intensity conflict did anyone think to set aside money from their high-rise apartment fund to build a bomb shelter?
Fuckface,
High-rise apartments made from concrete and rebar and built over decades are relatively cheap compared to the manner of bomb shelters the Israelis have. "Bomb shelters" a few feet underground would not withstand the type or quantity of munitions the Israelis are using, and they have had to do multiple runs to level several of the newer towers, which were designed with bombings in mind.
The massive static bomb shelters Israel is using likely cost hundreds of millions if not entire billions to develop over years, mobile shelters are millions ($1-2 mil) and a shelter in the US fitting 100 is budgeted around $10 million. Gaza's city GDP is miniscule and all building projects used foreign funds. Nearly every donation is earmarked for various purposes, not including bomb shelters. e: not to mention certain large-scale construction equipment is simply unavailable because it would be onerous to ship, would never be allowed to truck in from nearby countries, and the Israelis would probably bomb it for being "HAMAS CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT" next time the opportunity came. Israel destroys/"confiscates" small-scale construction equipment owned by Muslims in the West Bank region regularly.
Reality is rarely as simple as "and then they went home, because they were all retarded1!!," even arab dumbasses try to think these things through.
Social media retards everything it touches.
can innocent people please just not die anymore?
Muslims were also crying out about how it was a one-sided massacre much more vehemently when the Iron Dome was doing its job. Now that a few Israeli grannies and some random civilians died, they seem a lot more careful about how they represent the situation.
It's almost like the rocketfire delegitimized the Palestinian position, ruined any chance of foreign intervention, and gave Israel an excuse to escalate, huh.
