ITV News taken into Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza that Israel claims Hamas militants used as base
Senior International Correspondent John Irvine was taken by Israeli troops, beneath Gaza's biggest hospital, which Israel believes Hamas has used as a military base. ITV News could only film where the troops allowed but they did not challenge anything in John's report.
A four-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has been delayed until Friday, after it was expected the release by both sides of hostages and prisoners would take place on Thursday.
Ahead of the pause in fighting, ITV News was taken by the Israeli Defence Forces into the heart of Gaza City to look inside the Al-Shifa hospital complex, where thousands of people had been sheltering.
Israel claims Hamas militants have been using as a base for their operations.
The IDF claim this is why the complex was targeted and then occupied by them.
As the conflict continues into the seventh week, ITV News were only allowed to film where the military allowed us and our footage was reviewed by them afterwards.
Despite earlier hopes a ceasefire would start on Thursday, to allow 50 hostages to be released in stages, in exchange for what Hamas said would be 150 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, talks are still ongoing.
Israel's national security adviser said hostages would not be released before Friday. It was not immediately clear when a ceasefire would begin.
Both sides will release women and children first, with Israel claiming the truce would be extended an extra day for every additional 10 hostages released by Hamas.
Senior International Correspondent John Irvine was driven down the main boulevard now completely destroyed by Israeli rockets
John Irvine was taken into what the IDF says was a Hamas tunnel.
The tunnel ran under what the Israelis call the 'Qatari wing' of the complex. Israeli Forces say they found it two days ago and had to sweep it for any booby traps before showing ITV News.
Israeli forces were led to the tunnel by an air conditioning unit on the surface that appeared to have no particular use.
It bore all the hallmarks of a Hamas tunnel - about six feet high with a ceiling made of pre-cast concrete.
Rooms off it include a toilet and what the Israelis believe Hamas used as a dormitory.
ITV News were also shown weapons they say soldiers have found on the hospital site over the last few days.
The main boulevard in Gaza City used to be a bustling place. But its restaurants, apartment blocks and businesses have all been destroyed by Israeli rockets.
About 1.5 million Palestinian have fled north and there is little for them to come back to.
Israel has faced global condemnation for their attacks on hospitals and civilians in Gaza. Under international law, hospitals are given special protections during war – they must not be targeted.
But, hospitals lose those protections if combatants use them to hide fighters or store weapons, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Hamas has repeatedly denied that its fighters hide under hospitals, as have Gazan health officials and hospital directors.
The cease-fire agreement would bring the first respite to war-weary Palestinians in Gaza, where more than 11,000 people have been killed, according to health authorities.
Some 1,200 people have been killed in Israel, mostly during the initial incursion by Hamas.
