The Israeli military says it has discovered tunnels underneath the main headquarters of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees in Gaza City, alleging that Hamas militants used the space as an electrical supply room.

The unveiling of the tunnels marked the latest chapter in Israel’s campaign against the embattled agency, which it accuses of collaborating with Hamas.

Recent Israeli allegations that a dozen staff members participated in the Hamas attack on Israel Oct. 7 plunged the agency into a financial crisis, prompting major donor states to suspend their funding as well as twin investigations. The agency says that Israel has also frozen its bank account, embargoed aid shipments and canceled its tax benefits.

The army invited journalists to view the tunnel on Thursday.

    No. You don’t trust what Isreal says so you want them to investigate a separate organization? Now why would that be?

      I want them to submit their evidence to the UN to be assessed by an organization designated for peace.

      You want to blindly believe anything Israel claims, despite the constant history of lying. I can only assume this is to justify to yourself the atrocities they are committing?

        No. I’ll see what the UN claims. You can suppose anything you want about me, but you don’t have to suppose this will be our last communication

          A.K.A. you’ll blindly believe Israel despite them giving zero proof to the international community.

          I bet you believed Saddam had WMD’s too.

            Last time I heard this excuse was when all the tankies were calling Biden a lier and stoking tensions for saying Russia was going to invade Ukraine.
