Israel military claims show tunnel under al-Shifa Hospital

Israel's war on Gaza continues to expand, as it's not been able to find the captives being held by fighters. This according to the Israeli army is proof that two captives were at Gaza's al-Shifa hospital seen here in CCTV footage. Gunmen are entering another hostage from those countries I mentioned into the vicinity. The terrorists are guarding the room. We have not yet located both of these hostages and rescued them. We have not yet located them. Security cameras have been obstructed. All of the security cameras are covered. Earlier, Israeli soldiers claimed that all security cameras in al-Shifa were obstructed. Near the hospital, they found a body of a soldier. Israel admits the captured soldier was hit in an Israeli strike and claims she was then killed by Hamas fighters. Another army video claims this is an entrance to a tunnel. Days after attacking Gaza's largest hospital, Israeli bulldozers unearthed this shaft. Palestinian engineers say this concrete structure could not have been constructed in secret and it's unlike most tunnels which are built with prefabricated concrete slabs. These videos are part of Israeli military's attempt to prove the hospital was being used by Hamas as a command centre and not protected under international humanitarian law. A war crime, say Palestinians in Gaza who accuse Israel of lying about the hospital being under the control of fighters. They claim that this hospital was a command centre. Where is that? There's nothing of the sort. Not because we hid it, but because the truth is the occupation is lying. Whether the occupation finds a hole here or there, enters a tunnel here or there, it does not mean much. We don't deny tunnels extend along the roads and streets in Gaza for hundreds of kilometres. We've never hidden that. This is a grab bag. No doubt on who placed and arranged what Israeli military has presented as evidence. This is what the military video showed before selected journalists were taken on board. There is an AK-47. The number of guns in the MRI room increased and they can be seen as being arranged differently. These are explosive. In other places, what's claimed as evidence found on location has been neatly arranged for cameras. This video was also deleted and uploaded again. The earlier version showed what appeared to be an Israeli soldier on a laptop presented as evidence. And the claim that the video was unedited was also seemingly untrue because here, you can see the video was stitched together. The Israeli army has also deleted an earlier post which admitted that it sees ambulances and hospitals as legitimate targets. But despite the word war crime now being used more frequently by analysts and aid groups, Israel's war on Gaza continues to have support from Western governments. The first war crime is being committed by Hamas by having their headquarters, their military hidden under a hospital. The doctors and nurses and personnel have an opportunity to get out of harm's way. So this is a different story than I believe was occurring before an indiscriminate bombing. And that indiscriminate bombing has consequences. As this doctor says, he wants the world to hear not just screams of women and children as they die, but also see the specter of death as death itself is here in Gaza. Osama Bin Javed, Al Jazeera.
