    Israel occupied the Gaza strip until 2005. There is certain infrastructure that they built and tunnels under that hospital was one of them. It was not for military purposes but they know it is there. It’s important to understand the context behind the news as well as the events themselves.

      Um… Sources? First time I hear of them digging tunnels.

      But even if they did dig tunnels for non-military purposes in the 2000s, they have good intelligence of it being used as a military storehouse (even if you don’t believe their intelligence, which is regarded as one of the best in the world by several nations worldwide, you can hear the same from 7/10 terrorists’ testimonies in captivity). And it’s proven that Hamas’ strategy is digging tunnels for themselves, as in 2014 they used those tunnels in fighting the IDF and for invading bordering villages.

        The IDF is the source. That doesn’t mean that the rest of the intelligence is not true, tunnels haven’t expanded, and that they are not using them for military purposes. It is simply focused on that hospital in particular.
