The Israeli army showed a reinforced tunnel beside Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza on Wednesday, complete with a bathroom, kitchen and an air conditioned meeting room that it said had served as a command post for Hamas fighters.
So far there’s zero proof they did. Having to knock a building down to gain access to the entry point would heavily imply that it wasn’t recently used and probably hasn’t been done Israel walled it of with cement.
There’s better evidence that smuggling tunnels that existed before Hamas was even a thing have been used offensively by both sides at one point or another though no credible evidence has surfaced of their use in this conflict.
Honestly it would be kind of dumb to use such shallow tunnels because Israel has flying gpr that can detect tunnels. It’s why tunnels weren’t super common fighting isil or al queda, it’s a ton of time and energy when hiding in plain sight is cheaper less resource intensive and less obvious when your imports and exports are controlled externally by an adversarial nation.
The former Israeli PM admitted in an interview that Israel built the bunker underneath Al-Shifa hospital.
Yes, but was Hamas using it?
