in an elaborate campaign, the IDF presented its evidence that a HAMAS data center was found just below UNRWA HQ in Gaza City. They released a series of videos, and the Israeli Foreign Ministry wished good luck refuting this unbeatable evidence.

What they were presented with there in the courtyard was a hole. The IDF had drilled this hole to prove that a HAMAS data center was located just below UNRWA HQ. Drilled? So there was no entrance or exit through which one could have entered the tunnel from UNRWA HQ.

After the UNRWA HQ has been besieged for weeks, this new discovery is indeed somewhat surprising, especially since plenty of time has passed to prepare everything thoroughly. Finally, the IDF organized a tour for selected journalists to UNRWA HQ (31.512505° 34.444301°).
