"Hamas' Secret Tunnels: Uncovering the Truth Beneath Gaza's Hospitals"

Israeli military claims to have found evidence suggesting that Hamas used Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital for military purposes, including storing weapons and maintaining a tunnel network beneath it. Classified documents and images indicate a tunnel at least 700 feet long, connecting to Hamas's larger underground network. Israel has struggled to prove its early claims of a command-and-control center under the hospital, but maintains that Hamas used hospitals as cover and turned civilians into human shields. Hamas and Gazan officials deny the allegations, while international law protects hospitals from military action. The conflict has raised concerns about civilian casualties and the collapse of the healthcare system in Gaza.
