As Elder of Ziyon notes, this is an extremely belated admission, but in any case, remember it the next time you hear a pro-Hamas leftist or antisemite insist that Israel has killed 39,000 civilians in Gaza, or whatever the current fabricated number is.
It only took 8 months for the @NYTimes to report what anyone who watches Hamas’ own videos has seen from the start.
And it was nice enough to mention that this is a violation of international law.Buried in PARAGRAPH 56.

“How Hamas Is Fighting in Gaza: Tunnels, Traps and Ambushes,” by Patrick Kingsley, Natan Odenheimer, Aaron Boxerman, Adam Sella and Iyad Abuheweila, New York Times, July 13, 2024:
Hamas overwhelmed Israel’s border in October with a coordinated, large-scale maneuver before committing atrocities. Now, it acts as a guerrilla force, its fighters often disguised as civilians.
They hide under residential neighborhoods, storing their weapons in miles of tunnels and in houses, mosques, sofas — even a child’s bedroom — blurring the boundary between civilians and combatants.
They emerge from hiding in plainclothes, sometimes wearing sandals or tracksuits before firing on Israeli troops, attaching mines to their vehicles, or firing rockets from launchers in civilian areas.
They rig abandoned homes with explosives and tripwires, sometimes luring Israeli soldiers to enter the booby-trapped buildings by scattering signs of a Hamas presence.
Through eight months of fighting in Gaza, Hamas’s military wing — the Qassam Brigades — has fought as a decentralized and largely hidden force, in contrast to its Oct. 7 attack on Israel, which began with a coordinated large-scale maneuver in which thousands of uniformed commandos surged through border towns and killed roughly 1,200 people….

Anti-Semitism is simply not interested in anything other than substantiating anti-Semitism by any means fair or foul.

Interestingly, a lot of the elite “intelligentsia” still think that the New York Times is the “last word” in news.
They’re brainwashed.
