The IDF on Wednesday night released a recording of a conversation between a Hamas commander and a Gazan citizen revealing how Hamas takes fuel from hospitals in the Gaza Strip.
In the conversation, the commander of the West Jabaliya Brigade of Hamas speaks with the head of the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza as well as another Gazan citizen.

"I'm here with Dr. A'ataf on speaker," said the Hamas commander. We went to fill up the diesel. The thousand liters that you talked about."
"They told me, Abu Hassan, there's no diesel."
"This is at the Indonesian Hospital?" asked the Gazan.

"He is the doctor who told you there was no diesel? They told me to fill up [diesel] from the Indonesian Hospital!"
At this point, the commander hands the phone to the doctor, who asks, "What?"
The citizen responds: "Yesterday, Abu Ahmad spoke with me and told me to fill up [diesel] from the Indonesian [Hospital]."
"Yesterday [Hamas] came to fill up diesel," the doctor replied.
The two have a back-and-forth about the process of the hospital receiving the fuel and Hamas coming to take it. The Gazan citizen, exasperated, tries to understand what time of day will be best for him to get fuel before Hamas does.
"If we were to come get the fuel at night, would it make a difference?"
Frustrated, he tells the doctor to fill up the fuel for his workers.
"Fill it up now, people are depending on us! They're about to shoot us they're so anxious [to get fuel]. For the love of God."

At that point, the Hamas commander says, "Let's settle this issue of the diesel." With that, the recording ends.

What did that one Hamas cunt say yesterday? Something in the lines of "the UN and Israel are responsible for the citizens of Gaza. Our war tunnels and supplies are just for our fighters".
You want to tell me that terrorist steal stuff from people, who might need it?
I am shocked I say you. Shocked.

Nobody is gonna believe this. Meanwhile Hamas told AP that IDF striked again in Jebalya and the redditors are already saying it was a "double tap" and that the target was first responders.
Not only that Hamas is gospel, they even fill in the blanks to build more outrageous stories.
Look, I've been critical of the Israeli gov for half my life, but seeing that there are so many people that will believe ANYTHING about Israelis disregarding any evidence or common sense, just makes me feel totally alone.

I remember when the Unwra spokesperson woman was asked about fuel stealing in bbc and I think she looked uncomfortable straight away when she got the question.
Hopefully IDF will soon be able to provide more evidence when they're on site, it'll make some media outlets look stupid.
