you also went to gaza to the al shifa medical complex this weekend with the idf. what did you see? >> reporter: so we spent about six hours inside of gaza, we entered in at 9:00 at night and didn't come out until 3:00 in the morning. so we were there in darkness and made even more dark by the fact that there isn't power in northern gaza or in gaza city where our journey focused. so even as we stepped out near the al shifa hospital complex we could barely see anything and had to pick our way along the streets of gaza. our goal was to see what we could of the newly exposed tunnel shaft that the idf had discovered and revealed, only a day or two earlier. from our own eyes it was quite clear that there was a substantial structure there, made of concrete, with what looked to be the central shaft of a spiral staircase, but at night and with the little light we were allowed to use for our own safety reasons there was little we could see into the shaft itself but the idf lowered a camera with a special asset into the tunnel and we geolocated this tunnel, we were able to see it was the loca
