Israeli defense forces have recently uncovered yet another tunnel inside Gaza, believed to have been used by Hamas to hide hostages. Following a firefight at the entrance of the tunnel, the IDF made the discovery of an underground area approximately 60 feet deep that is suspected to have been utilized by Hamas for holding hostages. It is important to note that no hostages were found during this particular operation.
Further information indicates that around 20 hostages were believed to have been held in this underground area. Most of these hostages were released during a previous period of ceasefire in November. Among the released hostages was a young girl named Amelia, whose drawings were found in one of the rooms within the discovered area. These drawings provided a key clue to the IDF regarding the identities of the hostages who were held there.
