The Israeli military announced on Sunday that it had found a 55-meter-long tunnel underground at Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip, which it believes was used by the radical Hamas movement. According to her, this proves the claim of the Israeli secret services that Hamas had its military base under the hospital, writes The Times of Israel server. The Palestinian terrorist movement has long denied this. Israeli soldiers found the tunnel while searching the hospital.

According to the army’s statement, “the tunnel is located approximately ten meters below the surface and at its end is an armored door.” “This kind of door is used by the terrorist organization Hamas to prevent our troops from entering their command posts and underground structures,” the Israeli military said. She also published a picture of the alleged tunnel, but it cannot be independently verified.
According to the soldiers, the tunnel is further “proof beyond all doubt” that the Palestinian movement Hamas was using the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip for its military purposes. This, according to the military, turned the device into a human shield. Hamas has long denied that it has military bases in hospitals.

On Sunday night, the Israeli military released videos it said came from security cameras at the hospital. According to Israeli officials, the images show two people kidnapped by Hamas militants in the October 7 attack.
They are one Nepali and one Thai citizen. One of them is visibly injured and is lying on the bed. “These records prove that the Hamas terrorist group used Shifa Hospital as a terrorist facility on the very day of the massacre (meaning October 7),“ the military said.
The Israeli army also published its reconstruction of the last days of the life of a 19-year-old female soldier whose body was found near Shifa Hospital. Based on the pathologist’s report and the findings of the secret services, the army believes that the female soldier was killed by a member of the Hamas movement right in the hospital.
She got there after the Israeli army struck her apartment, when Hamas held her captive. According to spokesman Daniel Hagarih, the injuries caused by the blow were not life-threatening to the soldier. Hamas, on the other hand, claims that the woman died precisely because of an army attack.
Three hundred patients
Several thousand patients, doctors and people who were taking shelter there have left the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip since Saturday. Three hundred patients, who could not be transferred yet, and several dozen health workers remain in the facility, Reuters writes.

A mission of experts from the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday that the hospital could no longer function because it lacked water, food, electricity and fuel.
During Sunday, the army also reported that another of its soldiers died in military strikes in the Gaza Strip. The total number of Israeli soldiers killed in the Gaza Strip since October 7 has thus risen to 64.
On Sunday, paramedics began evacuating around three dozen premature babies. The children were transferred to the south of the Gaza Strip and the Egyptian maternity hospital at the Rafah border crossing should take care of them on Monday.
