Israel Threated by Underground Tunnels by Hamas
The Associated Press highlighted the hidden menace lurking beneath the surface as a serious threat to the forces of Israel.
An elaborate network of tunnels, constructed by the Hamas militant faction, sprawls across the heavily populated territory, concealing militants, their missile cache, and over 200 captives seized following a rare assault on Israel on October 7.
Engagements in these densely populated urban locales and subterranean maneuvers could potentially neutralize some of the technological upper hand of the Israeli military, tipping the scales in favor of Hamas both on the surface and underground.
