IDF reveals entrance to Hamas tunnel, weapons cache found in Shifa Hospital complex

The Israel Defense Forces said Thursday that its forces uncovered the entrance to a Hamas terror tunnel in the Shifa Hospital complex. The announcement by military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari came some 48 hours after the IDF launched a raid of Gaza’s largest hospital, where it says Hamas’s main command center is located underneath. Footage released by the IDF showed the newly uncovered tunnel in between buildings within the hospital grounds. Nearby, troops also located a Hamas pickup truck with weapons in it, similar to those used by the terror group in the October 7 attacks, Hagari said. The IDF also released an image showing weapons discovered by troops inside Gaza City’s Al-Quds Hospital. No soldiers or hospital staff have been hurt so far, it said. “We operate with the understanding that there is much more terror infrastructure in the area of the complex that is well hidden,” the IDF said.
