Israel says 55-metre fortified tunnel found under Gaza's Shifa hospital - eviltoast

JERUSALEM, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Israel published video on Sunday of what it described as a tunnel dug by Palestinian militants under the Gaza Strip’s biggest hospital, a focus of its search-and-destroy missions against Hamas in a war now in its seventh week.

    I believe literally no-one, at any point, has claimed the tunnel is new.

      I mean, the article above claims that the IDF said so in their video. And the long-standing claim by Israel has been that Hamas dug an entirely new network of tunnels beneath the hospital.

      It would be strange if they were just meaning the tunnels they themselves made decades ago.
