Israeli military officials have shown a group of international journalists a small living quarters they found in a tunnel underneath Shifa Hospital, claiming that the space had been used by Hamas militants.

Dozens of soldiers escorted journalists through a narrow stone tunnel — which the military said stretched 150 meters (164 yards) — to a series of underground bunkers beneath Shifa Hospital in a shattered Gaza City.

The living quarters, located at the end of the tunnel, had an air conditioner, kitchen, bathroom and pair of metal cots in a room fashioned from rusty white tile. They appeared to be out of use.

The AP was allowed access to Gaza on the condition that its journalist stay with the Israeli military convoy throughout the four-hour tour and submit all material to a military censor ahead of publication. There is no other way for foreign journalists to currently access the enclave.

    Yeah I guessed you’d say that. The thing is: There’s other data that does suggest Israel did bomb the hospital, but leaving that aside the Israeli story is that a PIJ rocket misfired and hit the hospital. This means it’s:

    1-Not Hamas, and:

    2-Not something they did to make Israel look worse.

    You’re currently spreading misinformation.

      Third party data shows it was Hamas. You can’t just say no.

      the Israeli story is that a PIJ rocket misfired and hit the hospital. This means it’s:

      No the third party, not even Israeli, story is.

      It literally couldn’t have been Israeli and it was Hamas or some other local area bombing, which means it couldn’t have been Israel.
