Dozens of soldiers escorted journalists through a narrow stone tunnel — which the military said stretched 150 meters (164 yards) — to a series of underground bunkers beneath Shifa Hospital in a shattered Gaza City.

The living quarters, located at the end of the tunnel, had an air conditioner, kitchen, bathroom and pair of metal cots in a room fashioned from rusty white tile. They appeared to be out of use.

The AP was allowed access to Gaza on the condition that its journalist stay with the Israeli military convoy throughout the four-hour tour and submit all material to a military censor ahead of publication. There is no other way for foreign journalists to currently access the enclave.

    Guess the walls aren’t filled with monitors as a good command center should be. Those goalposts are traveling at light speed now.

      Every good command center has a pair of metal cots in a room fashioned from rusty white tile that appear to be out of use. That should be enough for anyone!

      Maybe the required hardware for IDF to stage the command post is flying at light speed?
