Exclusive Footage Reveals Israel's War Room Deep Underground
Channel 14 has released exclusive footage from the "pit," a highly sensitive underground facility within the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, from which the Operations Directorate managed the war during its most dramatic moments. The report offers a first-time look inside the command center, detailing its role from the chaos of October 7th through the planning of ground maneuvers, raids, assassinations, and efforts to retrieve hostages, as well as operations against Iran.
According to the report, the facility is located deep underground, serving as the nerve center for critical decision-making during Israel's most challenging times. On the morning of October 7th, personnel in the Operations Directorate realized that everything had changed as initial reports flooded in, painting a picture of a reality far worse than any scenario.
From this underground hub, the Operations Directorate planned nightly operations in the Gaza Strip, including ground entries, raids, assassinations, and covert missions. The report emphasizes the 24/7 nature of the work within the directorate, involving personnel from junior officers to senior commanders, with operations spanning the entire Middle East.
A primary focus within the "pit" was the mission to retrieve hostages, with every piece of intelligence and sign of life being processed there. Nearly three years after October 7th, officers from the Operations Directorate who were stationed in the facility are now revealing some of the stories that remained hidden until now. The second part of the report will reportedly cover the drama behind the strikes in Iran, the assassinations of Iranian leadership and Hezbollah's top brass, and future outlooks for the region.
