Overview
- Troops located a tunnel shaft beside Gaza City's Jordanian Hospital that led to an underground weapons manufacturing workshop, according to the IDF.
- The route stretches roughly 1.5 kilometers and includes manufacturing rooms, meeting areas and quarters where intelligence indicated company- and platoon-level Hamas commanders lived and operated.
- Forces also found another tunnel shaft under Hamad Hospital in Gaza City, the army said.
- The operation involved the IDF’s 36th Division with Yahalom combat engineers, the Israel Security Agency and guidance from the Intelligence Directorate.
- The IDF asserted that Hamas systematically uses hospital areas for military purposes and said activity near the Jordanian Hospital occurred without Jordanian involvement, with mapping ongoing and broader searches planned.
