Destroyed Hamas' three tunnel shafts under Gaza’s Rantisi hospital, claims IDF

The IDF on Wednesday said that it has located and destroyed three tunnel shafts near Gaza City's Rantisi Children's Hospital which is just another Hamas stronghold used to connect and transfer terrorists and weapons throughout Gaza to be used against Israelis.According to Times of Israel report, in a previous revelation, the IDF provided evidence indicating the use of the hospital's basement by Hamas for storing weapons and potentially holding hostages.The recent investigation by the IDF's 401st Brigade, Navy's Shayetet 13 commando unit, and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit identified and mapped out the three tunnel shafts.According to the report, citing IDF, these shafts are part of a broader underground network spanning several kilometers beneath the hospital and leading to strategic points within Gaza City.The operations revealed that the three shafts "are connected by a wide underground network that runs under the hospital, is several kilometers long and leads to strategic points in the heart of Gaza City."One of the shafts, found in a high school adjacent to Rantisi, has an elevator heading down some 20 meters, according to the IDF.Another shaft, found in the home of a commander in Hamas’s naval forces, featured a blast door to prevent troops from entering, it says.After being investigated, the tunnel network was demolished by combat engineers.With inputs from agencies
