Israeli military says it found traces of hostages in a tunnel in the Gaza Strip

Associated Press  

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip — The Israeli military said Wednesday it has found evidence that hostages were present in a tunnel in the Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis, which has become the focus of Israel’s ground offensive. “Hostages were held here in this tunnel system,” said Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the army’s chief spokesman. Several hostages freed in a cease-fire deal in late November described being held inside tunnels, which Hamas has laid throughout the Gaza Strip and which Israel says have long been used to smuggle weapons and fighters throughout the blockaded territory. Israel has made freeing the hostages part of its war aims, along with crushing Hamas’ military and governing capabilities.
