IDF reveals footage obtained from Gaza Strip showing senior Hamas commander in a car driving through major tunnel revealed earlier

Courtesy of Skidmark, the Daily Mail’s take on the story, with the usual photos and video, and a map of the IDF’s current knowledge of Gaza’s tunnel system:
Israel has revealed what it says is the biggest tunnel its troops have ever discovered, as its army works to expose and destroy Hamas terrorists' sprawling underground city known as 'the Gaza Metro'.

Thought to stretch some 300 miles beneath the embattled enclave, Israeli soldiers have painstakingly sought to locate every entrance to every passageway in the 'spider's web' of tunnels and make them unusable.

The network was instrumental to Hamas in organising the October 7 atrocities, which saw its fighters storm across the Israeli border and murder 1,200 people, and has been used as a hiding place for terrorists and their weapons.

Israel's Defence Forces spokesperson has now given journalists a tour of the extensive tunnel, which spokesperson Daniel Hagari said is wide enough to fit a car through and spans well over 2.5 miles (4km).

He said the tunnel had been built in order to carry out a terror attack, with its end just 400 metres (1,310ft) before the Erez Crossing - the barrier Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups smashed through to launch their bloody attack on Israel more than 70 days ago.
