Israel released video it says proves its assertion of a Hamas tunnel beneath Gaza’s Al-Shifa hospital, which the military raided last week amid broad international criticism. The footage shows a shaft to a fortified tunnel that the military said is 10 meters (33 feet) deep and 55 meters long leading to a blast-proof door.
A deal for Hamas to release hostages taken during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel may be the closest yet and would require a multiday pause in the fighting, US Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer said.
