The Israeli military has doubled down on a claim that hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and equipment are being held under a hospital in the suburbs of Beirut after international media refuted the claims, Al Jazeera reports.

Israel said last week the Sahel Hospital in the severely bombed Dahiyeh district holds many Hezbollah tunnels underneath, prompting various media outlets to head there and check for themselves.

Now, Avichay Adraee, the Israeli military’s Arabic-language spokesman, has released a video claiming there is an entrance “behind the suspicious wall” that acts as “the entrance to Nasrallah’s crypt”.

The Israeli military has attacked all hospitals in the Gaza Strip using similar claims and has been steadily ramping up attacks on medics and emergency responders in Lebanon.
