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)
In the last geolocatable clip of the video, we see Al-Qassam [Hamas] terrorists retreating after being repelled by IDF forces.

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.
Drone footage of a dead Al-Nukhba [Hamas] member. he is the same individual seen in the tank ramming video during the ambush.

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.
Once an IDF base guarding northern Gaza settlements, the site became a training camp before 2016 and was demolished early in the Gaza ground operations after the Oct. 7 attacks.
The largest in the Netzarim corridor, was built in February / March of 2024, first known for the World Kitchen port, then the JLOTS, lastly as the Al Rashid checkpoint.
The following thread will contain Satellite photos of Hamas terrorist Training camps, what they were before the disengagement, how they were before the war, and how they are now.
First up Nissanit.

Prior to the disengagement, was a IDF military base (censored in 2005 image, censorship being annoying again)
