Who's surprised? That's not new that Hamas uses UNRWA schools and hospitals as military installations.
UNRWA spokesperson Chris Gunness released a statement saying that part of a tunnel was found underneath two adjacent schools -- Maghazi Elementary Boys A&B School and the Maghazi Preparatory Boys School -- in Maghazi refugee camp while construction was being carried out during the summer vacation.
“It is unacceptable that students and staff are placed at risk in such a way. The construction and presence of tunnels under UN premises are incompatible with the respect of privileges and immunities owed to the United Nations under applicable international law, which provides that UN premises shall be inviolable.”
Hamas released a statement in response, denying that the movement had any involvement in the tunnel.
