Unveiling the Underground Battlefield: Hamas' Gaza Tunnels

Israel's military offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip is being complicated by the vast network of concrete-reinforced tunnels built by Hamas. These tunnels, extending an estimated 300 miles beneath the surface, provide Hamas fighters with a hidden battleground and a means to ride out bombings and launch ambushes. Israel's challenge lies in navigating and neutralizing these tunnels, which are difficult to detect and access. To address this, autonomous robots are being deployed to scout the terrain and map the tunnels, but they are vulnerable to attacks. The presence of hostages in the tunnels further complicates Israel's approach, as sealing them off is no longer a viable option.
