9 days have passed since the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel, but this war is still showing no signs of stopping. Why is it taking so much time for Israel to eliminate the 40 kilometer long and 10 kilometer wide Gaza Strip? Actually, everything seems normal in Gaza Strip. Homes, shops, schools, everything is normal there, but behind this normality there is a big thing hidden and that is the tunnels made by Hamas.

Hamas has claimed that its network of underground tunnels extends for about 500 kilometers. Whose access points are in buildings, schools and mosques. Now it is also believed that these tunnels were used by Hamas in the attack on Israel on October 7.

According to some reports, a tunnel has been found near the kibbutz where dozens of Israeli citizens have been murdered. Today in this report we will understand the network of these tunnels of Hamas.

What is the secret labyrinth of Hamas?
After the attack on itself, Israel is planning to completely destroy Palestine by continuously attacking Palestine to take revenge from Hamas. Also, he is preparing to intensify the attacks in the coming days. However, this is not going to be so easy, because Hamas has made tunnels in about 500 km area in Gaza which go to Israel.

To know more about these tunnels one has to know the history of Gaza. Actually, Gaza was occupied by Israel in 2001. The extremist organizations there tried their best to liberate Gaza from Israel. Although Israel’s advanced defense was very strong, they felt very weak in front of it.

In that period, the militants of Gaza adopted the route of tunnels to deal with Israel. These people would dig tunnels and fill them with ammunition in an attempt to destroy Israel’s border posts. It took a lot of hard work but they were not getting the results they wanted.

However, in the tunnels dug by the militants, they kept essential items, ammunition and weapons and smuggled them from here. Then in 2004, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon announced to leave Gaza. After which, within a year, by 15 September 2005, Israel vacated Gaza. After this, as soon as Israel came out from there, conflict started between two extremist organizations Hamas and Fatah. In which Hamas defeated Fatah and took control there. Just after this, the network of tunnels in Gaza started spreading more rapidly.

By 2006, the network of these tunnels had increased further. This year, its news also reached Israel when Hamas dug a long tunnel from Gaza to Israel. Through this tunnel, Hamas militants came out from behind the Israeli border post and killed 2 Israeli soldiers.

One soldier was injured in this attack and another soldier named Gilad Shalit was captured and returned back to Gaza through these tunnels. After which Israel freed this soldier in exchange for 1 thousand prisoners. After this, in the year 2013, Israel Defense Force discovered a 1.6 kilometer long tunnel. Which was made of cement and this tunnel started from Gaza Strip and went to Kibbutz of Israel.

In 2014, through a similar tunnel, Hamas fighters were successful in reaching an Israeli community with weapons. Four days later, on July 21, these terrorists were again successful in infiltrating Israel in IDF uniforms. However, during this time the Israeli Defense Force caught and killed him.

After this, in the same year Israel launched Operation Protective Edge and destroyed 30 cross border tunnels built by Hamas. After this, in the year 2021, Israel claimed that it had destroyed 100 tunnels of Hamas, although Hamas had issued a statement that its tunnels are spread over an area of ​​500 kilometers and Israel was able to destroy only 5 percent of its tunnels. Is.

These tunnels of Hamas are spread in the densely populated areas of Gaza. Where there is little possibility of Israeli attack, because the possibility of detecting tunnels in such places is very less.

How did Israel’s intelligence agency not notice the attack?
Israel has maintained high-tech security near the Gaza border. Many of its soldiers keep guard here, yet the lack of news of this attack is raising questions on Israel’s intelligence. However, it is now being told that these same tunnels were used in the attack on Israel by Hamas on September 7 and such a large number of ammunition was sent through these tunnels. Hamas terrorists also reached various cities of Israel through these tunnels.

In such a situation, even the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, which was keeping an eye on the ground, could not get a clue about it. Also, these tunnels are still being used by Hamas. In such a situation, these tunnels are a big challenge for Israel, which is planning to completely destroy Palestine.

Tunnels built with international aid?
The Israeli Defense Force has claimed that the international aid sent by Hamas to rebuild the houses destroyed during the war in Gaza was used. Israel has used it to build these tunnels.

Israel also sends large quantities of construction material for civil projects in Gaza. Israel claims that it has also been used by Hamas to build these tunnels. 86 houses, 7 mosques, 6 schools and 19 medical clinics could have been built with the material used in a tunnel built by Hamas.

About Rs 25 crore has been spent in building this one tunnel. Also, due to its increasing conflict with Israel, Hamas had reduced money on civil affairs and used it to increase the military budget. According to a report, Israel has spent approximately Rs 1200 crore in building these tunnels.

Will the road ahead be difficult for Israel?
Israel has a Special Force Yahalom unit to detect such tunnels and clear and destroy them. In such a situation, according to Colonel Yaron, commander of Yahalom, the biggest challenge in this war is that Hamas terrorists do not leave any trace of tunnel above the ground. Also, these tunnels have been constructed about 30 kilometers below densely populated areas. In such a situation, due to the network of these tunnels, there will be a decrease in the strength of the technology and intelligence network of the Israeli Army.

In such a situation, since there is no trace of these tunnels above the ground, it is difficult for Israeli soldiers to detect them, due to which the strength of Hamas terrorists will increase and they can attack suddenly from anywhere. Also air strikes or bombings. Their hopes of survival also increase because they would have kept all the things they needed ready in these tunnels before the attack on Israel.

In such a situation, Israel also has explosives like Bunker Buster GBU-28 to destroy these tunnels. These not only destroy the tunnels but also leave huge pits in the ground. According to the news of Daily Mail, Hamas has named these tunnels ‘Gaza Metro’. In which all the things needed are available.
