Israel have revealed what a Hamas terror base hidden underneath Gaza's biggest hospital looks like, with a video showing a labyrinth of underground tunnels and war rooms used as main HQ for militant group.
An 'intelligence-based illustration' released by the Jewish nation's military show a sinister network of corridors and rooms deep below the buildings where innocents are being treated.
The IDF claim the Shifa Hospital - the largest medical complex in the Gaza Strip - in fact harbours the HQ of the terrorist organisation.
Pictures show armouries, storage rooms and armed guards patrolling the web of passageways.
In another is a meeting room complete with computers, rugs and leather chairs.
It comes after Israel's ambassador to the UN said the 'only way to destroy Hamas is to root them out of their tunnels and their subterranean city of terror'.
A top political adviser to Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hamas will feel Israel's 'wrath tonight' as the Jewish nation's warplanes unleashed airstrikes of 'unprecedented' intensity across all parts of the Gaza strip and announced it was 'expanding' its ground forces' operations.

“Dust off the ol’ bunkerbusters.”
This is one of the major differences between terrorist groups and, so called, moral countries. You don’t destroy civilians.
Of course, terrorist groups don’t care, they don’t wear uniforms identifying themselves and they invite death so everyone else should also or they are not with them. And they only use civilians when they need them. Otherwise they build the civilians the roads, schools, libraries, and those hospitals they use for cover during conflict. This is why they are allowed to stay.
But doesn’t it seem a little hypocritical when we bombed civilians in Europe during WWI and II, Vietnam, Iraq...come to think of it, we have bombed civilians for a little over a hundred years with the first known civilian death in 1915.
And that doesn’t count the accidents that happened when using balloons before that. It’s a war. That’s how it works. And trying to be moral will get you or your family killed.
Like Patten said, “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.” And the pain and suffering is what makes war too detestable to wage.

Fill it with rats, flood it, gas it.
Then get concrete pumper trucks to plug the holes.
Anything that comes out is justifiably “culpable””.
Deal with accordingly.
During the ground offensive the IDF should control/elliminate the underground passageways. It would be important for Israel’s security,
I’d bet the whole complex is wired to blow and taking the whole hospital with it if Israel tries to infiltrate. Of course, Israel will be blamed.
If you think building this beneath a hospital is bad, Washington DC put their tunnels beneath a nursing home.
The only way they can do that is with a nuclear weapon exploded like Operation Plowshares for engineering and canal building.
I think they’ve already been using bunker busters. I’ve noticed a number of explosions recently that looked very different, with a very narrow jet of fire and smoke shooting straight up into the air after they hit. My suspicion is that those are bunker busters, and the jet of fire and smoke is caused by the explosion happening below the ground and shooting out through the small hole left where it penetrated.
There are no civilians in war. Especially in Gaza.
“There are no civilians in war. Especially in Gaza.”
Depends on who you ask. If you ask a military member who has been there they would agree with you. But our leaders that make the calls, the Biden administration and our cowards in congress don’t look at it that way. They wouldn’t know a firefight if it shot them in the azz.
