Footage reveals intricate two-level Hamas HQs where 5 hostages’ bodies were found
NY Post
Eerie video surfaced Sunday revealing the intricate two-level underground headquarters of Hamas’ Northern Brigade where the bodies of five hostages were found.
The footage, released by the Israeli army, shows off the massive underground hub discovered dozens of meters deep in Gaza’s Jabaliya neighborhood, which has seen some of the most intense fighting of the war in recent weeks.
The video features Israeli soldiers first uncovering a weapons stash hidden inside a building — which houses an elevator shaft to the complex tunnel system below.
The entire network was more than a square third-of-a-mile in size and stretched beneath a nearby school and hospital, connecting to the home of the former leader of Hamas’ northern brigade, Ahmed Ghandour, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike, the Times of Israel said.
The tunnel system had a working full bathroom, as well as other toilets, a water cooler area and workshop stations containing scores of rifle ammo.
The tunnel was destroyed by the IDF days ago after the army completed its scan of the area and announced that the Hamas Jabaliya battalion had been broken.
