The Al-Qassam Brigades [Hamas] has released its footage of the August 20 battle with the IDF near Khan Yunis.
In this thread, I will be geolocating video clips released by the group, as well as showcasing additional footage previously unseen, provided by @orfialkov (thank you!)
Firstly, the video starts off with a militant climbing out of a tunnel and showcasing the area around, one can see old cell towers along Salah Al Din road. The POV is located approximately here (see tunnel in quoted tweet)
Temporary encampment that is set up by the Al- Qassam Brigades [Hamas], which is used as a staging point for the ambush.

That is all geolocatable footage from what was posted by Al-Qassam [Hamas], however, previously unseen footage that has been provided to me by @orfialkov gives us an additional insight (as well as some of the aftermath) of the battle.

It is worth noting that, this tunnel had been previously found by the IDF 3 months ago, on June 30th to be exact, though it is clear that not all of the tunnel had been demolished seeing that the ambush occurred in the first place.
