I’m asking you if you know of an alternate location from which Hamas plots attacks on Israel. Yes or no?

It literally is
Do you think they moved? Where do you think they moved it to?

Second, if it were there, it likely wasn’t intentional.
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.
Why is a military tunnel under a hospital? (I don’t believe that Gaza had a single orphanage.)
Wtf is that mean.
It means you have to actually go to the tunnels and fight, like the IDF is doing.
They’ve also killed an uncountable number of civilians and that makes me sad.
Yes, civilian casualties are a sad reality of war. Currently the best estimate is 1.3 civilians for every Hamas fighter, which is considerably better than the US Army achieved in Fallujah (7:1).
I’m sick of people who justify the actions of Israel because of the other guys
Well, I certainly don’t. I justify the actions of Israel because they’re achieving real military objectives in a war of survival they didn’t start while acting with the utmost restraint with regards to the civilian population of Gaza.
The IDF has killed or captured two-thirds of the al-Qassam brigades and it makes me happy
Hamas doesn’t use pagers, they use tunnels
“Where you sleep at night” would be an informal way of clarifying “residential address”
Unfortunately it’s a political problem - your bank has regulatory requirements meant to make money laundering difficult. These requirements mean they need an address at which you can be sued or arrested or they’ll be fined for doing business with you.
About all you can do is vote for candidates who promise to make banking more accessible and private by making it easier for criminals to launder money. It’s a world of trade-offs!
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.
