The Israeli military has revealed that under a ** square in the center of Gaza hides Hamas's vast network of underground passages. Before the outbreak of the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this area was the commercial center of Palestine. Hamas's top brass uses these tunnels to evade Israel's pursuit. Upon entering this underground passage, Israeli troops were surprised to discover its lavish structure, which had never been seen before in previous searches. They found that the tunnel connected the residence or office of Hamas's leader, Mohamas leader Mohamed Deif, to the Gaza Strip's senior Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar. Located in an upscale neighborhood in Gaza City, this square was previously occupied by the local elite and elite, and is the main stronghold of the top leaders of the armed groups.
Colonel Benny Aharon, commander of Israel's 401st Armored Brigade, pointed out that almost all of Hamas's senior ranks** have homes or offices near squares, and use their own personal tunnel shafts to connect to underground networks to evade Israeli surveillance.
Hamas launched an attack on Israel on 7 October, and many high-ranking ** may be hiding in these locations. However, as the Israeli army launched a military operation in Gaza, these Hamas** quickly withdrew, and during the Israeli army's search, they left behind a large amount of food and water.
In the course of the in-depth search, the Israeli army was once again surprised.
The elevator goes directly to the ground floor and is exclusively for the use of leaders.
The secret that Hamas has long built a vast network of tunnels under Gaza has long been known to the world, but it is under the attack of the Israeli army that the scale and durability of this network are truly revealed to the world.
Earlier, the Israeli army unveiled a tunnel found in northern Gaza, wide enough to accommodate a car. According to Hamas members, the tunnels were built primarily to protect themselves, not civilians.
The Israeli army said it had discovered a variety of tunnels with very different structures in the area of Palestine Square, where as many as 20 important tunnel shafts were discovered.
In one particular facility, an elevator is installed that leads to a depth of about 20 meters, followed by a long staircase that leads to a deeper level and connects ...... other areas
Obviously, the top Hamas leadership has gone to great lengths to design this layout in order to avoid Israeli surveillance and pursuit.
According to rumors, Israel has not stopped assassinating Hamas leader Deif for more than a decade. Various reports have varied about his injuries, with some claiming that he lost both legs, others saying that he lost limbs in an air raid, but the actual ** shows that Deyves may have only slightly lame ......
Therefore, it can be speculated that this elevator was most likely set up for Deif.
In addition, in order to destroy Hamas's underground tunnels, Israel has resorted to unscrupulous tactics - pumping seawater out and filling them.
In the new phase of the fighting, Israel will focus on attacking and destroying Hamas's tunnel network, but this operation may last for months.
International pressure continues, and the United States is urging Israel to end the war as soon as possible. As a result, the Israeli army did not have enough time to dig tunnels one by one. Given the intricacies of these underground passages, they have taken a direct approach, using water to force Hamas members out of the surface or force them to drown in the tunnels.
Israel has assembled five large pumping systems and plans to pump seawater directly from the Mediterranean Sea and inject it into Gaza's underground tunnel system. It is claimed that thousands of cubic meters of seawater can be injected into the underground tunnel every hour.
Within the United States, there are differing views and opinions on this move. Some are concerned that such an approach could cause damage to environmental safety, while others believe that the key to destroying Hamas lies in the destruction of the underground tunnel system, so irrigation may now appear to be one of the quickest and most effective ways.
It is worth mentioning that as early as 2015, Egypt was dissatisfied with Hamas's use of underground tunnels for smuggling, and took measures to flood several tunnels under the southern border of Gaza with sea water.
Just a few tunnels have already led to a significant drop in crop yields for local farmers. If seawater were to be flooded into the Gaza underground tunnels on a large scale, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Another scenario is that Israel thinks that if the underground tunnel network in Gaza collapses and Hamas is completely weakened, they will move to refugee camps in Lebanon. They then plan to use bulldozers to raze the entire Gaza Strip to the ground, turning it into an "open-air museum" similar to the memorial site of Auschwitz.
Auschwitz is a construction site in Poland where thousands of Jews were brutalized by the Germans during World War II. In this way, Israel envisages the possibility of treating the Gaza Strip in the future as a symbolic, retrospective place.
The "morbid and hostile" remarks made by the Israeli side in recent days were quickly condemned by all walks of life.
The Polish side said that Israel's remarks seemed to implicitly accuse the army of wantonly killing civilians and children in Gaza, and stressed the need to completely condemn such remarks.
Ironically, there are politicians in Israel who support the transformation of Gaza into a "no man's land" and who have proposed various relocation options to try to keep the civilians of Gaza out of the land with the intention of preventing them from living there.
Some netizens commented that in the eyes of the Israeli side, they do not seem to really hate the history of the Jews being subjected to mass **, but fervently advocate the establishment of another Auschwitz concentration camp, and do not bother to play the role of "victim" again.
