The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released new footage showing a Hamas tunnel complex in Gaza’s Zaytoun area, revealing both living quarters and weapons stockpiles inside.

Military officials said the discovery highlights Hamas’ continued use of underground infrastructure to conceal fighters and store arms in densely populated areas. The footage showed reinforced passages, sleeping areas, and caches of weapons believed to have been prepared for attacks.

The IDF stated that its forces are working to dismantle the tunnel network as part of ongoing operations in Gaza, calling it further evidence of Hamas embedding its military infrastructure within civilian zones.

The revelation comes as fighting intensifies across the strip, with Israel emphasizing its focus on degrading Hamas’ operational capabilities while international concern over civilian suffering continues to grow.
