"Hamas Booby Trapped Every Building in Gaza"
Factual Accuracy: This claim is not substantiated. While there is documented evidence from Israeli military operations, international organizations (like the UN), and journalists that Hamas has used booby traps, IEDs, and tunnel networks within Gaza – often in civilian areas like homes, schools, and hospitals – the assertion that "every building" is booby-trapped is an extreme exaggeration without credible evidence.
Scope: Hamas's tunnel network and defensive preparations are extensive and pose significant dangers, but they do not encompass every single structure in Gaza. The scale of destruction in Gaza (over 60% of buildings damaged or destroyed according to UNOSAT) also makes the "every building" claim implausible.
Source of the Claim: This specific hyperbolic phrasing often originates from unverified social media posts or highly partisan sources, not official military briefings or reputable international investigations. The IDF reports finding weapons and tunnels in many locations but does not claim every building is trapped.
