The bodies of the four hostages which were returned to Israel over the last weekend were rescued from a tunnel in Jabaliya.
The tunnel was found by the 202nd Paratroopers Battalion. In this instance there was no combat in the tunnel, but there was many encounters with Hamas terrorists above ground.
The tunnel had been used by Hamas in an attempt to rebuild their command and control capabilities. The tunnel is is part of a larger underground complex the IDF had not yet reached.
Inside the tunnel, the bodies were hidden along with a very powerful explosive device. It is believed Hamas intended to detonate the device if the IDF came for the hostage’s bodies.
