Video of a dark network of tunnels tens of meters deep in the northern Gaza Strip, in the refugee camp of Jabaliya, has been released by the Israeli army. According to the IDF, this is the tunnel where, earlier this month, 5 Hamas hostages were killed during Israeli raids.

The video shows an underground “city” on two levels, tens of meters below the Earth’s surface.

The footage shows a section of the tunnel paved with white tiles and a similar bathroom with a simple shower, basin and sink.

In the “workroom” there was a table and a bench. A drinking water cooler and a stack of bullets could be seen in a tunnel.

The three soldiers and two civilians were among 240 hostages taken to the Gaza Strip by Hamas gunmen on October 7. Their bodies were recovered earlier this month.

Last week Hamas released a video that showed the three of them alive in a room that looked like a cramped, windowless bedroom with one electrical outlet and white tiles on the wall. In the accompanying caption, the organization wrote in Hebrew: “Your weapons killed the three.”

The video contained no footage of the bedroom shown by Hamas, which had a different ceiling design, although it was also tiled with white tiles.

The question of how the five hostages died remains unclear. Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said the results of the forensic examination were awaited. “We will inform the families and then, depending on what they wish, the public,” he added.
