Al-Shifa, Israeli officials have argued, is an example of Hamas’s willingness to use hospitals as cover and turn civilians into human shields. The portion of the tunnel visible in the Israeli military video is at least 350 feet long. But beyond accusing the Israeli military of planting evidence at hospitals, Hamas and Gazan officials have not directly refuted the evidence presented by Israel. The Israeli military declined to provide additional imagery to support its assertion that this was a tunnel entryway or part of a tunnel complex.

Seen from Close-up: How the U.S. Open Dials in its Court SpeedFrom the seats in Arthur Ashe Stadium, the tennis court below appears smooth and uniform. The size, shape and density of the sand make up the hardcourt surface and dictate the speed of the ball after it bounces. Of course, players are not always universally happy with the court surface choices made for the tournaments on the pro tours. The court surface used at Flushing Meadows is called Laykold, which is made by Advanced Polymer Technology, an international manufacturer of sports surfaces. The bounce of a tennis ball generally lasts five milliseconds, an instant that will determine how the ball behaves.
