(Cairo = Yonhap News) Correspondent Kim Sang-hoon = The Israeli military announced on the 16th (local time) that it had discovered an underground tunnel on the grounds of Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical institution in the Gaza Strip, where it was assumed to be the ‘operational headquarters of Hamas.’
On this day, the Israeli military released a video saying that it had discovered the entrance to Hamas’ underground tunnel on the grounds of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
If you look at the video, you can see the entrance to the tunnel between this hospital building. Near the tunnel entrance, rebars and other structures are intricately intertwined and concrete structures can also be seen.
The Israeli military said they also found a Hamas pickup truck loaded with weapons near the tunnel entrance. Military authorities explained that this pickup truck was similar to the one used by Hamas militants when they infiltrated southern Israel on the 7th of last month.

The Israeli military has claimed that Hamas has set up an operational headquarters at Al Shifa Hospital and has been using patients and medical staff within the hospital as human shields.
In addition, the Israeli military presumed that Hamas had imprisoned the hostages taken during the surprise attack last month here, and deployed troops to the hospital early in the morning the previous day to conduct a search operation.
The Israeli military released related photos and videos, saying it had confirmed the space used by Hamas as an operational headquarters and the weapons it had hidden.
However, some human rights groups have criticized the hospital for failing to provide conclusive evidence that it was used as an operational headquarters for Hamas.
