The IDF released a harrowing new video showing the condition of the tunnels where six hostages were found dead after being executed by Hamas terrorists last month.

The IDF Spokesperson, RADM Daniel Hagari, stated at a briefing earlier this week that the footage of Hamas' actions has been distributed in English and the international media has been briefed, so that the whole world can witness and remember the evil of Hamas and understand the cruelty with which it treats hostages.

"Hagari stated that despite the current situation, the safety and well-being of the hostage families remain their top priority. They are deeply saddened by the loss and will continue to work tirelessly to ensure the safe return of the hostages as soon as possible."

In August, the IDF rescued six Israeli hostages, including the body of American-Israeli citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, whose parents had made numerous public appeals for his safe return, including speeches at the Democratic National Convention.

On Aug. 29, Hamas terrorists executed Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Ori Danino, Alex Lobanov, Carmel Gat, and Almog Sarusi before Israeli forces arrived, the IDF reported.

The new footage reveals Hagari's journey through the narrow, dark, and frightening tunnels beneath Rafah's Tel Sultan neighborhood.

The video shows trash scattered throughout the tunnel, along with clothing and bloodstains. Additionally, the soldiers discovered food and equipment that they suspect the Hamas terrorists had used to survive, along with the hostages.

The tunnel, positioned around 60 feet below ground, stretches approximately 400 feet and cannot be stood upright without bending over, as stated by The Times of Israel.

This week, the IDF announced that they had destroyed eight miles of underground routes and neutralized approximately 80% of all Hamas tunnels along the Philadelphi Corridor.

"Hagari stated that they are continuing to investigate the murder as thoroughly as possible. After the investigation is complete, they will first present the findings to the families and then to the public."

"In recent weeks, the troops operating in the field have been responsible and cautious, both above and below ground. They have successfully eliminated many terrorists, including the commander of the Tel al-Sultan Battalion and the battalion's chain of command," Hagari continued.

"Hagari stated that we lacked intelligence information to execute a hostage rescue operation and were unaware of the hostages' exact location in the tunnel. Tragically, the hostages were killed before we arrived at the location."

The IDF is investigating how the names of six hostages leaked before they were rescued from a tunnel, which Hagari described as a "serious incident that harmed the families of the victims and compromised the security of the troops in the field."

Gaza's south-western region, specifically the Tel al-Sultan area, remains a target for Israeli military operations, with tunnels being regularly discovered and destroyed in the vicinity of the Philadelphi Corridor.
