The IDF reveals new video of a Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, where it believes hostages were previously held by the terror group.
The tunnel was located by the Commando Brigade, the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, and other special forces, and connects to a wide underground network, the IDF says.
“After investigating the tunnel, it can be said that there were Israeli hostages in it,” the IDF says.
On Wednesday, the military took journalists from international outlets to see the tunnel.
The IDF says that so far in the Khan Younis area, troops have uncovered more than 300 tunnel shafts leading to major Hamas tunnels in the area.
More than 100 tunnels have so far been destroyed or rendered inoperable, it adds.
