The United States will not share any Israeli intelligence or elaborate on its own intelligence assessment that Hamas used Gaza's Al Shifa hospital as a command center and possibly as a storage facility, White House spokesman John Kirby said on Thursday.
I’m not going to say you’re wrong, this entire discussion is primarily hypothetical. But the US is not one to shy away from good publicity where possible.
I think it’s entirely reasonable to say that if you announce that you are going inside of the Hospital to look for Hamas, then Hamas knows with 100% certainty what you likely found down there. At that point, why even be vague about it. It’s a yes or no situation, either you found them or you didn’t, and Hamas already knows if you found them or not. I don’t really see any sort of potential security implications of say “Yes, we definitively found them.”
