0:36Now PlayingIDF troops uncovered a tunnel system in southern Gaza where about 20 Israeli hostages were held “in harsh and inhumane conditions” — including a 5-year-old who drew hopeful pictures while in captivity.
Chilling footage uploaded Saturday shows off a vast tunnel spanning more than half a mile below the home of a Hamas commander in Khan Younis, southern Gaza’s largest city, which has seen the most intense fighting of the war, according to the IDF.
Past several booby traps, explosives and other obstacles set up by Hamas, the IDF said, it found DNA evidence in the tunnels, coupled with testimony from former hostages, that proved the underground system housed as many as 20 Israelis, including Emilia Aloni, 5.
In the hostages’ caged rooms, soldiers found two of Emilia’s drawings that she left behind when she was freed along with her mother in November.
The pictures, which appeared to be drawn with a pink crayon, depict a happy home with nearby flowers, butterflies and a smiling sun popping out of the mountainside.
