The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have uncovered a kilometer-long Hamas tunnel in the Gaza Strip, extending approximately 830 meters long and 20 meters deep, which was used to hold about 20 hostages, including children, in cramped cells with no daylight and little oxygen. The tunnel, located under a civilian area in Khan Yunis, was rigged with explosives, obstacles, moving doors, and booby-traps. Footage of the tunnel was released by the IDF, which also blasted Israeli radio into the tunnels in an effort to soothe the recently held hostages. The tunnel's discovery has highlighted the use of resources that could have been allocated to civilian needs in Gaza.
