Ah yes, I love going into tunnels by bombing hospitals and orphanages full of civilians, it’s my favorite method. Also, are you suggesting that hamas doesn’t use communication technology?
Comment on Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way!

It means you have to actually go to the tunnels and fight, like the IDF is doing.

Why is a military tunnel under a hospital? (I don’t believe that Gaza had a single orphanage.)

First of all, I’m pretty sure it was proven not to be, but you can fact check me on that. Second, if it were there, it likely wasn’t intentional. Third, they could have bombed the tunnel without hitting the hospital, because it wouldn’t have only been under the hospital. Fourth, and again you can fact check me in this, but it would be pretty strange for a large city to have no orphanages.

It connects to, and opens into, a hospital referred to by the New York Times in 2008 as “the de facto headquarters of Hamas.” So clearly pretty intentional.
Third, they could have bombed the tunnel without hitting the hospital
They did bomb the tunnel without hitting the hospital.
Fourth, and again you can fact check me in this, but it would be pretty strange for a large city to have no orphanages.
There are zero orphanages in any American city, for instance. Not strange at all. Orphanages are kind of an archaic and disused way to handle the case of orphaned children - modern societies use a foster system, instead. Gazans simply don’t care so they make no provision at all if the family doesn’t step up, so they don’t run orphanages either.

Lol that’s not what they’re doing.

Oh I didn’t realize you go “into” tunnels by indiscriminately bombing the things above them.
You learn something new every day.

Sometimes you bomb them so you don’t have to, or to block a means of egress. Either way it’s a legitimate military objective that justifies civilian casualties.
People could just leave the area, though. It’s not like Israel doesn’t tell them about the strike.
