Israel released a video on Sunday showing an expansive multi-level tunnel system. Inside were the bodies of five hostages who had already been murdered by Hamas.
The tunnels were found in Jabilaya, which the international community insists is a "refugee camp." In reality, it's a built-up area that has served as a military stronghold for Hamas. Scans revealed the structures under the "camp," leading specialized IDF combat engineer squads to the deceased hostages.

These weren't just crudely built tunnels dug with a few shovels. They included toilets, an elevator, a great hall, and command and control facilities. One off-shoot connected to the home of Ahmed Ghandour, who previously led Hamas forces in northern Gaza. Ghandour had already been killed in an airstrike by the time this raid occurred. Overall, the discovered complex spanned over a kilometer of distance.
It is astonishing to see how much money and manpower was wasted so Hamas could dig these tunnel complexes. Gaza doesn't really produce anything, which means all the building materials and machinery that were used came from outside sources. Many of those sources fall under the guise of international aid organizations such as the UNRWA.
The situation in Gaza has been one of the most perverse in history, with NGOs participating directly in supporting and enabling Hamas. The UNRWA, for example, runs schools that teach terrorism and hatred of Jews. Despite all of that being exposed many years prior, the United Nations still does nothing and says nothing. Instead, the international community defends the UNRWA and pretends Israel is the aggressor. Even the United States continues to provide "aid" for Gaza knowing it is ultimately going to support Hamas.
Had all the billions of dollars shoveled into Gaza been used to build civilian infrastructure, the situation would be completely different. Unfortunately, Palestinians want war, and they continue to overwhelmingly support Hamas and the other terrorist groups operating in the area. For that, they will get war, and Israel is going to finish it this time.
Who were the hostages?
Seal off all entrances but a few. Back up idling trucks and funnel exhaust down on the muzz rats.
Works great for pack rats and gophers.
Tunnels? What good were they?
A good place to be trapped! Gassed! Drowned! Captured!
Strategery (sic) wise... not wise at all. Stupid Muslim terrorists! So easily defeated.
I wonder if they will sponge bomb the place?

Sponge bomb, and I don’t know if it’s square or not. 😆
Next, go after the billionaire Hamas leadership granted citizenship in Turkey.
Am wondering the same. Perhaps they couldn’t tell much from the remains, other than how many bodies there were.
This recounts a small tunnel. The big steel-lined tunnel is large enough to drive a vehicle through with room to spare.
It runs from a greenhouse complex in Israel, north of the Gaza border, to a similar complex south of Khan Younis in Gaza. It was build by Sinwar’s brother some years back. It also has steel blast doors.
From it, there are multi-layered smaller tunnels, branching and re-branching, until most of the Hams tunnel network is connected.
Jabalia Camp is a phoney Palestinian refugee camp created by the United Nations following Israel’s war of independence in 1948. Despite its name, the small city which exists on UNRWA handouts is located 2 miles from Jabalia ceter. According to recent estimates it is the largest “refugee camp” in so-called “Palestinian territory”, with more than 110,000 inhabitants.
War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.

Those tunnels sure look like they can hold lots of water.
I doubt they put those in just for the hostages.
All conveniences for themselves and to hell with disposable, gullible, ordinary citizens.
This bargaining over hostages’ lives in exchange for cease fires, supplies, humanitarian aid for GAZA is all a smokescreen. The hostages are dead.
I still don’t get it. Those tunnels need fresh air to sustain life. Find the ECS system and shut it down.
