Hamas tunnels are bigger than the London subway
The English newspaper "Financial Times" has said in the report that the estimates of the Zionist regime army show that the tunnel network of Hamas in Gaza is bigger than the London subway network.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) International Service: "Destroying Hamas tunnels is considered the most difficult part of the Israeli army's mission. We have to be patient, it takes time" These are parts of the words of Difne Richmond-Barak, a professor at "Richman" University in Tel Aviv and the author of a book on the underground battle.

In a report, the English newspaper "Financial Times" discussed the extent of Hamas's underground tunnel network in Gaza and, citing informed sources in the Israeli army, claimed that the network of tunnels, which is estimated to be larger than the network of underground trains (metro) in London, to the senior leaders and members of Hamas. This allows them to take refuge in it, and most of them are believed to have survived the almost eight weeks of relentless Israeli attack in the basement.

According to Fars, the London Metro has 270 main stations and 260 sub-stations, and 55% of this network is located on the ground. This network, with 408 km of railway, is the third longest intra-city transportation line in the world.

A former Israeli security official has claimed that the term "tunnel" is not fair for what Hamas has created under Gaza, and instead used the term "underground cities".

Yochwood Lifshitz, an 85-year-old captive who was freed by Hamas in October, said the Hamas tunnel network was an elaborate "spider web" several kilometers long, with "huge halls" that could hold up to 25 people, the Financial Times continued.

Al-Qassam Brigades (the military branch of the Hamas movement) in the last 16 years created a series of tunnels that are used for strategic offensive and tactical defense, and the purpose of these tunnels is that the resistance forces can inflict heavy blows on the Israeli military ranks away from the eyes of the Zionist fighters. .

The Zionist army has prioritized the destruction of Hamas tunnels, but it has not fully specified how to plan to achieve this goal, and during the recent war in Gaza, many civilian infrastructures such as Al-Shifa and Al-Momadani hospitals were destroyed as an excuse. He destroyed the Hamas tunnels under them, but he has not provided any documentary evidence to prove this claim.

The Israeli army claims that the Hamas tunnel network is more than 500 kilometers long and "the tunnels are a huge challenge... Explosive traps and obstacles in the way of our movement inside the tunnels increase the risks "for our forces".

According to this report, Israeli authorities say that Hamas has learned from previous attacks, and as Yehuda Kafir, an Israeli civil and military engineer in the reserve forces of the Zionist Army, who is also an expert in underground warfare, says: "The lesson that Hamas probably learned from "The 2021 airstrikes (Israeli army) learned... was to dig deeper and cover the tunnel system with very strong concrete."

Since 2016, Tel Aviv has received $320 million in US military aid to strengthen and develop anti-tunnel techniques, but has not provided any definitive solutions to deal with these tunnels.
