Israel published a video on Sunday of what it described as a tunnel dug by
Hamas terrorists under the Gaza Strip’s biggest hospital.
While acknowledging that it has a network of hundreds of kilometers of secret tunnels, bunkers, and access shafts throughout the Palestinian enclave, Hamas has denied that these are located in civilian infrastructure like hospitals.
In an update on operations in Gaza City’s Al Shifa Hospital, the Israeli
military said its engineers had uncovered a tunnel 10 meters deep and running
55 meters to a blast-proof door.
“This type of door is used by the Hamas terrorist organization to block Israeli
forces from entering the command centers and the underground assets belonging
to Hamas,” said a military statement accompanied by a video showing a narrow
passage with arched concrete roofing, ending at a grey door.
The statement did not say what was beyond the door. The tunnel had been
accessed through a shaft discovered in a shed within the Shifa compound that
contained munitions, it said.
