A gruesome video emerged Sunday revealing the elaborate two-story underground headquarters of Hamas’ Northern Brigades where the bodies of five hostages were found.
The footage, released by the Israeli military, shows a massive underground hub found tens of meters in the Jabaliya neighborhood of Gaza, which has seen some of the fiercest fighting of the war in recent weeks.
The video shows Israeli soldiers first uncovering a weapons cache hidden inside the building — which houses an elevator shaft to a complex tunnel system below.
The entire network measures more than a third of a mile and stretches under a nearby school and hospital, connecting to the home of the former head of Hamas’s northern brigade, Ahmed Ghandour, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike. , the Times of Israel said.
The IDF discovered a weapons manufacturing station in a large two-story tunnel beneath Jabaliya. IDF A tunnel system runs under Gaza’s schools and hospitals. IDF
The tunnel system has full working bathrooms, as well as other toilets, a water cooler area and a workshop station containing a number of rifle ammo.
The tunnel was destroyed by the IDF a few days ago after the army completed a scan of the area and announced that the Hamas Jabaliya battalion had been broken.
The IDF launched a raid to gain access to the tunnel system after intelligence reports earlier this month indicated that the bodies of at least two hostages were located in the Jabaliya area.

The IDF later found the bodies of Ziv Dado, 36; Eden Zachariah, 27; Nik Beizer, 19; Ron Sherman, 19; and Elia Toledano, 28, of the tunnel network.
Dado, a Golani Brigade warrant officer, was killed during the October 7 terrorist attack, and Zacharia was one of the hostages kidnapped from the Nova festival during the Palestinian terror group Hamas’ raid on Israel that day.
Beizer was a corporal with the IDF, and Sherman a sergeant, with both soldiers kidnapped along the Gaza border on Oct. 7.

Toledano was another Nova festival participant who was separated from her friend and fellow French-Israeli Mia Schem, one of more than 100 hostages freed in November.
The destruction of the Jabaliya tunnels came as the IDF blew up a similar large tunnel system located under the Palestinian Plain in Gaza’s affluent Rimal neighborhood.
The Gaza City tunnels are where officials believe top Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and army chief Muhammad Deif were operating when their forces invaded Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people and abducting more than 240 others.
