It shows a massive underground complex, spacious enough to accomodate large trucks carrying missiles, and underground missile launch sites complete with electrically operated steel blast doors.
It is hard to know how much of this is real. Some of the people in the video, amd some of the tracking camera shots, move in ways that indicate videogames more than actual footage. Outside of one fan, I couldn't find any ventilation system, which would be necessary.
Even so, no one doubts that Hezbollah has a large tunnel system. The question is, why would Hezbollah produce and release this very cinematic video?
The purpose is psy-ops. The primary audience is Israeli Jews. And the video actually showcases Hezbollah's fear more than its fearlessness.
The video is meant to frighten Israelis, and Westerners, into pressuring Israel to accept a ceasefire that would keep Hamas in a position of power in Gaza.

The message of the video isn't "we're eager to destroy the Zionist entity." It is "please, Zionist entity, don't attack us!"
Keep in mind that right now, Lebanon has shut down its last power plant due to lack of fuel. These videos show Hamas has plenty of electricity and fuel to run these underground faciltiies. How do you think the average Lebanese citizen reacts to these videos? It isn't with pride - it is anger that its own resources are siphoned off to a terror group.
Hezbollah is not in a position of strength. This video, ironically, proves that.
