This Friday, Israel announced that attacks in Gaza have increased. “The air force is attacking underground targets and terrorist infrastructure on a large scale, in a very significant way,” Israeli army spokesman Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a media appearance.

According to the videos, audio and computer reconstructions provided by Israeli intelligence and presented by Hagari, this infrastructure, according to the Israeli military, would consist of a complex network of tunnels and rooms in the basement of the hospital, housing a sophisticated command and control system control center of the Palestinian organization would have been installed.
Hamas claims accusations are “typical for a 10-year-old boy”
However, the head of the Hamas news agency in Gaza, Salama Marouf, refuted all Israeli accusations, saying that they are “as false as they are childish” and “are within the reach of the mentality of a ten-year-old child. ”
In a press appearance at Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza, Marouf pointed out that these accusations and evidence from Israel are “so naive that a sixth-grade child could make them up.”
“These are false accusations, made up by the Israelis, which do not constitute valid evidence. “Israeli warplanes and drones have been flying over our heads for twenty days and years before that, but they have not managed to provide a single piece of evidence to prove that this facility has underground tunnels and a command center,” Marouf stressed.
Israel: There is fuel in Gaza’s hospitals that Hamas can use
Likewise, Hagari stated that, according to intelligence available to Israel, “there is fuel in Gaza’s hospitals and Hamas is using it to power its infrastructure.”
Israel has systematically rejected fuel access to Gaza, despite calls in recent days by various actors in the international community, due to the collapse of essential services in the Gaza Strip, such as electricity and water. (JO)
