"Den Of Hostages With Stockpile Of Weapons": IDF Claims It Entered Hamas Tunnel

The IDF on November 13 shared a video of a Hamas tunnel leading to the basement of a hospital. IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that the tunnel led to the place where several Israelis were held hostage. He showed how power was being supplied to the basement through the tunnel and the stockpile kept inside. Displaying the signs of hostages being kept in the basement, Daniel showed women's clothes, ropes, diapers, and bottles. Since the war broke out, Hamas has been accused of using civilians of Gaza as a shield. News agency Reuters cited its sources claiming that Hamas has around 40,000 fighters. They can move around the enclave using a vast web of fortified tunnels, hundreds of kilometres long, and up to 80 meters deep. The Israeli military has intensified ground operations inside the besieged Gaza Strip. With the intensification of the ground ops by Israel, a ceasefire is nowhere near sight.
