He could have questioned the certainty that a specific Hamas guy was even present in (or under, I guess) the camp in order to make the admission of guilt more specific. For example: https://twitter.com/martyrmade/status/1719572283436782057?t=UM-uSl5z89Ua4uaw0p2-xw&s=19

Other follow up questions might include "who specifically ordered the airstrike?" and "if you wanted to minimize civilian casualties, why conduct an airstrike on a refugee camp at all?".

And those follow up questions may well have been asked, if they hadn't lost sound on the call. But regardless of how you think you might have handled it, there was nothing wrong with the angle Wolf took here. He kept the focus squarely on the horrific nature of the decision and refused to let the guy weasel out of it.

I'm not so credulous to believe that they really lost sound, but okay.

Cool. Enjoy your tinfoil hat bud.
