Unveiling the Hidden Depths of Gaza: Tunnels, Weapons Workshops, and Drone Manufacturing

Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip have constructed a complex network of hidden tunnels that extend across the territory, allowing fighters to move freely and stockpile weapons. These tunnels, which include disguised access points, bunkers, and even tunnels wide enough for vehicles, pose a significant challenge for Israeli forces as they attempt to dismantle them. The tunnels serve as shelters, planning rooms, and ammunition warehouses, and may also be holding Israeli hostages. Destroying the tunnels is a key objective for Israel, but the task is complicated by the tunnels' hidden entrances and the risk of booby traps. Israeli forces are likely to focus on blocking the entrances rather than attempting to destroy the entire network.
