ISRAEL’S military claims to have discovered one of Hamas’ dens and weapons headquarters located in the basement of a hospital in Gaza.
IDF footage from Rantisi Hospital revealed what appears to be an underground terrorist nest filled with baby diapers and bottles – perhaps indicating that hostages may have been held there.

Soldiers said they found many weapons in the hospital basement, including explosive belts, grenades, guns and RPG missiles.
In a video released by the IDF, force spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said: “This is the type of equipment that is used for large-scale combat.”
Pointing to each item laid out on the floor, he explained, “These are explosives, these are explosive vests [in them] for the terrorist to explode [Israeli] forces between hospitals, between patients.”
A motorcycle with gunshot marks was also found, which according to Israeli military officials were used by Hamas terrorists in the October 7 massacre.
In addition, the soldiers claim to have found signs indicating that hostages were being held in the room as they found a chair with women’s clothes and a rope.
The IDF claimed to have discovered an operational shaft of the tunnel, which leads from the hospital to the home of a senior naval commander just meters away.
Hamas and hospital staff deny claims that a terrorist command cell is hidden in tunnels beneath the hospitals.
The shocking footage comes after Israeli forces destroyed a Hamas terror cell in another hospital in Gaza as they used patients as human shields to try to escape.
The IDF said today that Hamas fighters fired on troops from the entrance to Al Quds Hospital as they “embedded” themselves among civilians.
Israeli forces returned fire, claiming to have killed 21 terrorists in the attack.
An IDF statement said: “RPG and small arms fire was directed at soldiers from the direction of Al Quds Hospital in Gaza City.
“The shooting was carried out by a terrorist squad that embedded itself in a group of civilians at the entrance to the hospital.
“During the incident, approximately 21 terrorists were killed and our forces suffered no casualties.”
It has not been confirmed or denied whether civilians were killed during the fighting.
Israel claims that as civilians fled the building, Hamas militants emerged from nearby buildings and among them to attack Israeli forces.
Al Shifa Hospital, the largest in Gaza City, also came under fire amid the IDF’s war effort in the Strip and became a flashpoint in the war.
Scores of IDF soldiers and tanks surrounded Al Shifa Hospital today amid growing fears for the hundreds of civilians trapped inside.
Like Al Quds, it stopped accepting new patients after running out of fuel and patients are struggling without enough food, water or medical supplies.
The Israeli military believes that the main command center of the terrorist group Hamas is located under the Al Shifa hospital complex and that the group’s senior leaders are hiding there, using the facility as a shield as they did with Al Quds.
