Weinstein Claims Sinwar Outsmarted Israel by Making Video of Bombed Hospitals Strategic Weapon

What was said

"What he did was he said you will have to bomb these tunnels and what we want is the video. This is the point I made in that tweet is that hybrid war means that the video of Israeli bombs falling on a hospital or a mosque or an old age home is worth so much more in a dumb world consuming video in a particular way that Sinwar completely outsmarted his Jewish adversaries."

Eric Weinstein argued that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar deliberately built tunnels under civilian infrastructure not primarily as human shields but to ensure Israeli military strikes would generate devastating propaganda footage. Weinstein characterized this as a brilliant strategic calculation in hybrid warfare that Israeli military planners, despite priding themselves on intelligence, failed to anticipate or counter effectively in the information war.
