Israeli military took journalists to an underground compound in Khan Younis, Gaza, claiming it held about 20 hostages abducted by Hamas. The compound had cells, a kitchenette, and evidence of hostages. The military said some hostages were released, while others were dispersed in Gaza. The compound was part of a vast tunnel network, complicating Israel's offensive. The military showed evidence, including DNA, to support its claims. The compound and tunnels were later destroyed.
