    So this is a new tunnel that didn’t exist before? And is not a part of the large basement tunnel complex Israel made when they built al-Shifa in the 80’s?

      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.
