🇵🇸The Gaza Metro: Hamas's Underground Warfare and Tunnel Infrastructure

The sources review the underground tunnel network of the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip, sometimes referred to as the "Metro," and compare it to similar systems in North Korea and Vietnam. These texts detail how Hamas invests tens of millions of dollars and civilian resources in building infrastructure used to transport weapons, hide terrorists, and hold hostages, while cynically exploiting medical and civilian facilities. The military sources emphasize the operational challenge of the underground space and the IDF's technological efforts to locate and destroy the shafts and tunnels. In addition, the history of the use of tunnels to infiltrate Israeli territory and the multi-pronged security response to this threat over the years are described.
