  • "The purpose of the tunnels is comply with all the military
    and terror needs of Hamas."
    The IDF will likely use a mix of raids and bombing to destroy and clear as much of the Hamas tunnel network as needed says Joel Ruskin, a former Israel Defence Forces terrain analyst.

    I keep seeing the beach in Gaza and think of the resorts they could have built instead of war tunnels.

      Hamas has controlled Gaza since 2007, for 16 years now. They have never tried to build an economy there. Their only interest is political control, nothing else. The unemployment rate is 47%; that tells you everything you need to know. Gaza is totally dependent on the UN for its food, its medical services and its schools. The UN has been happy to make them a dependent people. The UN is a major part of the problem; they are not part of the solution.

    The idea that you can wage a war from underground, while your opponent dominates all of the land above you 'virtually unopposed' is ridiculous.
    Those tunnels will be cleared regardless of how many, or how deep they dig. It is not possible to dig an escape from the Justice that is headed their way.

    The theorizing of tunnel network seems to avoid two basic needs, power and ventilation. It will not be an easy task to provide either power or fresh aur to all these tunnels during normal times but almost impossible during a siege and blitz scenario as is the current case. I find it strange that Israel would have not invested more in infiltrating Gaza during the last 15 years , as they would be aware of the tunnel strategy and the process requires a huge effort to remove soil and the installation of an immense amount of prefabricated tunnel supports . It is surprising to find Israel are so foolishly confident in their self belief that they appear so ignorant of the abilities of others. In many ways they follow the manners of Russia.

      @Kurtlane Před 6 měsíci +5

      Since Israel left Gaza in 2005, it has no access to anything that's going on there. Palestinian authorities (first Fatah, then Hamas) have complete authority. Israel has tried to set all sorts of non-human intelligence gathering, but it has very limited capability. Hamas just went around it. For example, it created a separate land line phone network to be used only in tunnels, which is not connected to cell phones.
      One cannot replace human intelligence-gathering.

But I have seen vids of Israeli bulldozers on the shore of the Med with large black pipes coming out of the sea on shore. They could flood the tunnels which would be slow enough but just not float petrol on top.
