"Exploring the Hidden Passageways of Gaza"

The extensive tunnel network beneath Gaza, constructed by Hamas, showcases significant planning and resources, stretching hundreds of miles and featuring specialized sections for military operations. Despite Israeli efforts to target these tunnels through air strikes and ground operations, the network's resilience is partly due to Gaza's sandy soil, which facilitates digging but complicates destruction efforts. The Israeli military has uncovered around 1,500 tunnels and continues to develop methods, including the use of drones, to combat this subterranean challenge. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, including over 21,800 Palestinian deaths and the loss of 167 Israeli personnel, with ongoing international concerns regarding the impact on civilians and potential war crimes.
