Hamas Tunnel Network in Gaza

Israeli military reports reveal that Hamas' 'Gaza-metro' tunnel network remains largely intact, with only 25% destroyed in the past eighteen months.

Key Points:

• Hamas had 550-700km underground tunnels before the conflict.
• Terrorists resumed tunnel activities post-ceasefire for rearmament.
• Concerns over tunnels to Egypt for potential rearmament.
• Israel reengages in conflict, regaining control of 50% of Gaza.

Israeli military faces challenges in eradicating the extensive tunnel system used by Hamas for weapon production and shelter. The network poses a significant security risk, with concerns over civilian casualties during bombing operations to target Hamas leaders.

Experts estimate a large portion of the tunnel network remains intact, particularly in southern Gaza, prompting evacuation warnings for residents. Despite previous reports suggesting higher destruction rates, the actual figure is notably lower.
