Tehran, IRNA - In the latest Israeli attempt to justify their crimes, Israeli soldiers claimed they found Hamas' military equipment during a raid in Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, but no evidence yet of a vast tunnel network it claimed was used by Hamas, media reports said.
The Zionist regime is under significant international pressure to prove its claims about Hamas' infiltration of the hospital, to justify some of its military decisions — which could otherwise constitute a possible serious violation of international humanitarian law, CNN reported.
Doctors and health officials in the Hamas-controlled enclave have consistently rejected accusations that the hospital was the site of a command center.
CNN is trying to contact the hospital to speak to doctors there, but phone calls are not going through.
There is certainly no indication yet that troops have uncovered a multi-level tunnel structure with underground chambers — of the kind illustrated in an animation presented by the army spokesman at a briefing almost three weeks ago.
Hamas responded to earlier comments from the Israeli army – that troops had found weapons inside the hospital – as a blatant lie and propaganda.
The Israeli regime waged a bloody war on Gaza on October 7 after Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity.
Since the start of the aggression, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 11,180 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 28,000 others.
It has also imposed a “complete siege” on the coastal sliver, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
