HAMAS MEDIA: NBC Journo Asks Whether IDF Tunnel Display Justifies ‘Massive Palestinian Deaths’

JOSH LEDERMAN: NBC News can't verify what this tunnel was used for or when. But Israel is under increasing pressure to prove its allegations about Hamas, especially after its deadly onslaught at Gaza's largest hospital last month. Several independent analyses later raised questions about Israel's claim that Hamas had command and control facilities deep underground. 

Showing these tunnels to the media, is this an effort to justify incredible numbers of Palestinian deaths? 

MAJ. DORON SPIELMAN, IDF: I think this is an effort to justify the fact that we have no choice but to be in Gaza fighting Hamas, and that those civilians were condemned the moment that Hamas built these tunnels underneath them.
