IDF: Footage reveals Hamas tunnel located under al-Shifa

According to video released by the Israeli military, the al-Shifa hospital includes a “55-meter-long terror tunnel that is 10 metres deep underneath.”

“Clearly proving that numerous buildings in the hospital’s complex are used by Hamas as cover for terrorist activities,” the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) say they have watched the film.

The medical personnel at Gaza City’s major hospital, along with Hamas, have consistently refuted these accusations.

This comes after the prime minister of Qatar stated today that there are only “very minor” barriers left to the release of Israeli hostages.

The ambassador of Israel to the United States, Michael Herzog, expressed optimism that Hamas may free a “significant number of hostages” “in the coming days.”

Since Israel started its war against Hamas, according to the health ministry in Gaza, which is managed by Hamas, 13,000 people have died there.

According to the Gaza health ministry, which is managed by Hamas, 13,000 Palestinians have died in the Palestinian enclave since the start of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

After Hamas militants infiltrated into Israel on October 7 and killed 1,200 people while holding over 200 hostages, Israel began a campaign of retaliation against Gaza.
