Israel’s military has released a video of what it claims is a 55-metre tunnel used by Hamas beneath Gaza’s largest hospital.

The footage, published on social media, is “more proof” that Hamas is using patients as “human shields”, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) claim.

The video, at al Shifa, begins with images of what is described as an “operational tunnel shaft”, which looks like a circular hole in the ground.

The shaft is said to drop 10 metres, containing a three-metre ladder and a spiral staircase for the other seven metres, the IDF said.

At the bottom is a tunnel in two sections of five metres and 50 metres, the IDF added.

“The tunnel entrance contains various defence mechanisms, such as a blast-proof door and a firing hole, in an attempt by Hamas to block Israeli forces from entering,” the IDF said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“For weeks we’ve been telling the world about Hamas’s cynical use of the residents of the Gaza and patients of Shifa Hospital as human shields. Here is more proof.”

The video was filmed on Friday 17 November according to a date stamp on the footage.

The IDF has said Hamas has a command centre beneath the hospital – a claim denied by Hamas and by hospital staff.

Earlier, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said al Shifa hospital – once the largest, most advanced and best-equipped hospital in Gaza – had essentially stopped functioning as a medical facility.
