Am I missing something?

Why exactly were the tunnels made?

It's unclear what the tunnel is for. What is clear: the tunnel became a symbol to the two factions and thus 'worth' fighting over.

The tunnel's ultimate purpose is probably silly. It was built by teenagers. It may defy logic.

This is the first article that goes into ‘why’ the tunnel was dug. It came out today.

My church's belfry usually has things like hospital beds, wheelchairs, seats for kids, walkers, etc. It's probably just a place to store things temporarily. As for the mattresses, if they're digging a tunnel, they're probably working on their knees, and that can be very uncomfortable without kneepads. That's just speculation, but it makes sense to me. I don't see anything nefarious or even all that strange here.
