The IDF says it has located and demolished a hideout apartment belonging to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in northern Gaza, along with a large tunnel system under it.

The apartment, located on the outskirts of Gaza City, was found by the 14th Reserve Armored Brigade and later investigated by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, which found a tunnel shaft.

The IDF says it found “many findings” in the apartment that indicated it was used by Sinwar as a hideout.

The tunnel shaft was some 20 meters deep, and led to a 218 meter long tunnel with several branches, according to the IDF.

The underground passages featured electricity, air filtration systems, plumbing, resting and prayer rooms, and other equipment aimed at allowing senior Hamas members to remain hidden for long periods.

The tunnel was later destroyed by combat engineers, the IDF says.

Progress.

In a significant development, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has disclosed the intricate tunnel network utilized by Hamas’ senior leadership in the “Elite Quarter” of Gaza City.

This area, including ‘Palestine Square,’ served as a hub for Hamas’ administrative and military operations.

Approximately 600 terrorists were eliminated by IDF forces during both ground and aerial operations to secure the area. ‘Palestine Square’ was identified as a pivotal location for Hamas’ military command, surrounded by structures functioning as command and control centers, terror tunnel entrances, and strategic buildings affiliated with the organization.

Following the successful securing of the area, a meticulous “sweep and clear” operation uncovered an extensive underground complex integral to Hamas’ tunnel system. This network, connected to significant subterranean infrastructure throughout the Gaza Strip, featured tunnel shafts discreetly embedded in the residences and offices of senior Hamas officials. These covert access points allowed for both clandestine retreats and extended periods of concealment. The subterranean network encompassed blast doors, hideouts, and provisions such as food, water, and electrical infrastructure for sustained stays.

Of notable significance, the underground tunnel system facilitated the operational direction of Hamas by senior officials like Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, Muhammad Deif, and others. Moreover, it served as a secured pathway for their daily movement within the heart of Gaza City.

Adjacent to these structures, Hamas had established a specialized workshop dedicated to the excavation and construction of the underground network. The workshop contained a tunnel shaft equipped with logistics and construction materials, including tunnel walls and concrete arches forming the tunnel ceilings. A 20-meter deep shaft, complete with descending spiral stairs, blast doors, and tunnel bifurcations, was also discovered. The tunnel shaft was intentionally demolished by explosives placed by Hamas, and various weapons and technological devices were found in close proximity.
