IDF Reports 1.5-Kilometer Hamas Tunnel by Jordanian Hospital, Second Shaft Under Hamad

The military says specialized units are mapping the tunnels ahead of demolitions.

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.
