Let's not echo this as fact, considering there is quite literally no evidence for this provided. We see a power cable and a PBX setup, and the IDF has refused to provide further proof. When these things are investigated with the limited information available, they end up with contrary conclusions[0] to what the IDF claims.

- emchammer 2y agoI am not echoing it as fact. I saw photos with chopped Ethernet cables, and I saw the IDF's two videos related to that borehole. Those punch-down blocks pictures on the Internet sleuth site could go either way. It's fine to punch down Ethernet, and I have done so personally. I have also tested the limits of Ethernet's transmission range. It could definitely work within a few hundred meters of UNRWA's building. The underground power cables referred to in the spreadsheet are for 220 kV transmission lines, which are completely different from 400 V power used in data centers. Technicians don't need workstations except maybe for bootstrapping. Everybody uses laptops these days. Why would the data center be sending power upwards to the building?
