In the brightly lit corridors of the MRI unit, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus shows us three small stashes of Kalashnikovs, ammunition and bullet-proof vests - he says they have found around 15 guns in all, along with some grenades.

The laptops, he says, contain photos and videos of hostages, taken after their kidnap to Gaza. There is also recently released footage, shared by Israeli police, of their interrogations of Hamas fighters arrested after the October attacks. The BBC was not shown what was on the laptops.

Israeli reports are showing images of the laptop open with images of a hostage - with footage attributed to Fox News (the other international news outlet who were escorted through Al-Shifa).

EDIT: the images appear to be from before October 7th per Times of Israel.

    I have 40 guns. Does it really matter how many? The “how many” thing doesn’t come up in any other context. Whether I’m going on a rampage or shooting my wife, 1 or 2 will get the job done.

    And no I don’t hunt, rarely conceal carry and feel that guns, while not magical protection talismans, are better than nothing for self-defense. But mostly I just like gunsmithing and shooting. And yes, I have many other thoughts in other lemmy posts should anyone want to have a look.

    So how about you stop putting words in our mouths? Hell, I vote straight ticket D and will do so for the remainder of my life.

    Sorry to go off OP, I’m just sick of being stuffed in a box that doesn’t fit.

    (And of those 40; 5 are black powder, 5 are in pieces, or are small caliber handguns, or are single-shot shotguns and various flavors of .22. Not the sorts of things anyone is clamoring to ban.)

      I was just being a smart ass there. Don’t take it the wrong way. I realize there’s a huge difference between a sane, responsible gun owner and Hamas hiding a weapons cache at a hospital in a war zone.

      Part of what I was being flippant about is just that they were hyping up finding 15 guns as if it was a major stash. I live in Louisiana. Some of my relatives have 15 guns.
