Sources directly support that Hamas dug tunnels under hospitals and school sites, including Rantisi Hospital and the Ramaz Fahrah girls' school and the Turkish Hospital, and used them for command posts and weapons storage. They do not address missiles specifically, and day care centers appear only in an opinion piece describing a kindergarten yard shaft.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… And shame on you if you somehow blame Israel for going back into Gaza and going after the people who perpetrated it. And I'm sorry that they use Palestinian people as cannon fodder. But many of the times they are willing cannon fodder. They elected Hamas. They allowed Hamas to dig tunnels under hospitals and day care centers and in school yards to place their missiles. So you know what? You had your shot at a two-state solution. And you know, too bad. It's so sad for you. Too bad, so sad for you. And if you, if you believe that somehow, that, ah, you know, ah. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. …
The Rob Carson Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. The IDF said it destroyed a tunnel network running under and around Rantisi Hospital and the adjacent Ramaz Fahrah girls' school in Gaza City (Dec. 2023).[2]
Supports. An IDF-reported 10-km tunnel network passed beneath the Turkish Hospital and Israa University, with rooms for weapons storage and combat equipment.[3][4]
Supports. Reuters reports Hamas tunnels with specialized sections for launching military attacks, and the Israeli army showed a tunnel near Al Shifa Hospital that it said was a Hamas command post.[1]
Supports. The Meir Amit Center documents Hamas placing military facilities in or near hospitals and schools, and firing rockets from population centers and public institutions.[5]
Context. The 'missiles' element is not addressed directly: sources mention rockets fired from populated areas and weapons storage in tunnels, but not missiles placed in tunnels.[3][5]
Context. The day care/kindergarten element rests only on an opinion piece describing a tunnel shaft dug into a kindergarten yard, which is a non-authoritative source.[6]
