Just days after beginning its controversial operation in the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army presented further evidence of its terrorist commitment. A 55-meter-long ‘terror tunnel’ has been discovered on the grounds of the Al-Shifa hospital at a depth of ten meters, the Israeli army announced on Sunday. The terrorist organization Hamas has always denied that such tunnels under hospitals exist.
The Israeli military said the tunnel was secured with a bombproof door. “These types of doors are used by the terrorist organization Hamas to prevent Israeli forces from entering Hamas command centers and underground facilities.”
Access shaft on hospital grounds
The military also released a video showing a narrow concrete tunnel and a gray door. There was no information about what was behind the gray door.
Israeli forces are also busy “discovering the route of the tunnel,” the army said. According to the army, the access shaft to the tunnel was located in a wooden hut on the hospital grounds. Ammunition was also found there.
Soldiers search the hospital grounds
Despite international criticism, Israeli soldiers have been deployed in and around the largest clinic in the Gaza Strip for days. Israel accuses the Islamist Hamas of using the hospital for “terrorist purposes” and operating a “command center” beneath the buildings. Hamas denies this.
According to the army, “more than 100 terrorists” have been arrested in the Gaza Strip in recent days. They include “responsible people who allegedly revealed the locations of underground tunnels, storage facilities and weapons.” This information could not initially be independently verified.
