Footage showing the inside of a tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip where six Israeli hostages were murdered by Hamas terrorists last month and their bodies found and recovered by Israeli troops two days later, was released by the Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday. The video showed IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari giving a tour of the claustrophobic underground passageway in Rafah’s Tel Sultan neighborhood. The tunnel was seen littered with bottles of urine, women’s clothes, and large blood stains on the ground, where the hostages were murdered. Hostages were executed in the tunnel by their captors on August 29, before being discovered by troops on August 31. Alongside the footage, the IDF released new details of the tunnel and the operation to find the bodies of the six murdered Israelis, including that they were being held only some 700 meters away from where another hostage had been rescued alive days earlier. The tunnel where their bodies were found is a narrow 120-meter-long passageway — not tall enough to stand in without bending over — that connected parts of a large underground network in the Tel Sultan neighborhood, which according to the IDF belonged to Hamas’s Rafah Brigade
