The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released a video on Monday showing a tunnel belonging to the terrorist group Hamas that was located right next to the Rantisi Hospital inside Gaza.
IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari showed how the covert tunnel, buried approximately 60 feet below ground, had blast proof doors and is believed to run directly underneath the hospital, which constitutes a war crime. The tunnels were powered by solar panels placed on top of the hospital.
Hagari then showed viewers the basement of the hospital and the evidence that was present that indicated that hostages were being held there.
The IDF found large quantities of explosives, grenades, RPGs, ammunition, firearms, suicide vests, and more in the basement of the hospital. They even found what they believed was one of the motorcycles that Hamas terrorists rode into Israel during their October 7 attack.
Hagari showed a chair that was found where someone, presumably a woman (based on a dress that was located there) had been physically restrained through the use of heavy duty zip ties. He also showed that baby bottles and diapers were scattered throughout various areas of where the terrorists may have kept some of the hostages.
In one room, the terrorists hung curtains up against a concrete wall that had been painted white, which Hagari noted was so that terrorists could film propaganda videos against the backdrop of the curtains.
The IDF also found logs written in Arabic of the names of individual Hamas terrorists who were responsible for guarding one of the main areas where hostages were being held.
