Dailykepri.com | Middle East – Israel claimed they attack Al Shifa Hospital because the Hamas has built an operation tunel under the hospital.
But shockly , different claimed come from the Former Israel Prime Minister Ehud Barak on Monday.
He said that the bunkers beneath Gaza’s war-torn Al Shifa Hospital, which has been in the news this past week after Israeli forces said they found a 55-metre “terrorist tunnel” the Hamas had used as a command outpost was built by his country.
The ex-PM suggested the underground space had been built by Israel “many decades ago” – most probably when Tel Aviv occupied Gaza – “to enable more space for operation of the hospital”
Speaking to CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour, Mr Barak said “it is already known for many years that they (the Hamas) have bunkers originally built by Israeli constructors underneath Al Shifa”.
“… was used as Hamas command outpost… it was at junction of several tunnels (that were) part of this system. I don’t know to what extent it is ‘major’… probably not only command outpost… there are others under other hospitals or sensitive places, but for sure it was used by Hamas,” he said.

Mr Barak suggested the Hamas may have since expanded and linked it to other tunnels and bunkers.
Mr Barak also stressed that because of the “cautious” approach to storming the hospital – which was first surrounded by Israeli tanks as it was starved of food, fuel, water and medicines – Hamas operatives had time to erase, to a large extent, traces of their activities beneath the medical facility.
We warned for many days we are going to come here. Then we came, very cautiously, in order to avoid loss of lives among doctors, patients… as a result Hamas had all the time in the world to try to make it less apparent that it (the bunker) was in use. But we are confident that for years it was used… as major or non-major… command outpost for Hamas activities,” he told the CNN anchor.(Red)
