    No, bunkers are actually for people to survive airstrikes and shelling. It even makes sense having one near a hospital, because sick people can’t go fast when the sirens go off. Usually responsible governments build bunkers for their citizens when there is a chance of war. Military sometimes has command bunkers, but they are not for and not near civillians.

      So Israel did not use bunkers to store weapons but Hamas did. Seems a little propagandistic to me.

        idk I’m someone else. … but I think hamas is very stupid, so it appears plausible to me they used a perfectly good bunker to store wapons instead of sheltering people. Not sure if they really did tho.

        Well the crux here is that it’s not a bunker but a basement. Of course the Israeli government likes the translation into ‘bunker’ a little bit better
