The Israeli army said on Sunday it had uncovered the biggest Hamas tunnel in the Gaza Strip so far, just a few hundred metres from a key border crossing.

Such was its size that small vehicles would be able to travel within the tunnel, an AFP photographer granted access to it reported.

The underground passage formed part of a wider branching network that stretched for over four kilometres (2.5 miles) and came within 400 metres (1,300 feet) of the Erez border crossing, the army said in a statement.

It cost millions of dollars and took years to construct, Israeli forces said, with the project led by Mohamed Yahya, brother of Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, who is believed to have masterminded the October 7 attacks.

The honeycomb of passageways features drainage systems, electricity, ventilation, sewage and a communication network as well as rails.

The floor is compacted earth while its walls are reinforced concrete and its entrance is a metal cylinder with 1.5 centimetres (half-inch) thick walls.

Footage released by the Israeli army, which it said was filmed by Hamas, showed a small construction vehicle being driven into the tunnel, an extensive temporary warehouse filled with pre-cast concrete for lining the walls and workers digging beneath the earth using crude power tools.

The Israeli army said it had found a large number of weapons stored in the tunnel, ready to be used in an attack.


People, goods, weapons

Hamas had expended huge resources in the project, said Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht, an army spokesman, and did so to “serve only one purpose – attacking the State of Israel and its residents”.

He said the tunnel was deliberately built near the Erez crossing, which Israel uses to facilitate the strictly controlled entry of Palestinian workers and those travelling for medical care.

“For Hamas, attacking the people of Israel continues to take priority over supporting the people of Gaza,” he said.

The Islamist militant group launched a surprise attack against southern Israel on October 7, killing around 1,140 people, mostly civilians, and taking about 250 hostages, according to the latest Israeli figures.

In response, Israel set out to destroy Hamas and launched a relentless bombardment and ground invasion of the Gaza Strip to achieve that goal.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says Israel has killed more than 18,800 people, mostly women and children, during the war.

Dubbed the “Gaza Metro” by the Israeli military, the labyrinth of tunnels beneath the coastal territory was initially devised as a way of circumventing the crushing Israeli-Egyptian blockade, in place since 2007.

Hundreds of tunnels were built under the border with Egypt and into the Sinai Desert, allowing people, goods and weapons to cross into Gaza from the outside world.

Since the 2014 war with Israel, the tunnel network has been expanded and Hamas has made frequent use of it to facilitate its rocket launches.

A study published on October 17 by the Modern War Institute at the US military academy West Point said there were 1,300 tunnels stretching over 500 kilometres (310 miles).

The Israeli army said at the beginning of December that it had discovered more than 800 tunnels, with 500 destroyed.

Reports in Israeli media last week said that the army was considering flooding the tunnels with seawater pumped from the Mediterranean and had already conducted successful tests.

Does that justify the murder of over 20,000 innocent Palestinians?

How many underground tunnels does Israel have? Maybe thousands

I pity the innocent people that are caught up in this conflict

To eliminate Hamas completely means the total destruction of Gaza and its inhabitants as well.

May we not witness war in our lifetime, especially the kind of war that will wipe out our families, Loved ones and everything.

So what are they waiting for


NUKE IT!

RUBBISH 🙁😡

I support the above motion.....


But first of all let that tunnel be flooded with salty sea water from the Mediterranean sea, am quite sure those bastard terrorist might need it..

After that, israel can duly NUKE IT....

Why are Terrorists this creative ?

CoronaVirusPro:



Fvck Israel!

You are cursed,even to your 4th generations.

Just imagine a world without Hamas, Boko Haram, IPOB, Killer herdsmen, Bandits, Al-Quada, ISIS, ISIL, Houthis, Hezbollah, etc.

Peace is what the world needs.

RIP to hamas…You don’t mess with Israel because they don’t forgive or forget terror on their soil and they don’t read the New Testament. They read Old Testament which is patterned after mosaic laws of an eye for an eye. Na Israelis calm German people body, after waging WW1, Germans waged another war against the world- WW2 but their greatest undoing was killing jews. A lot of youngsters supporting Palestine today have never heard of the most powerful secret intelligence agency in the world which is Israeli mossad Aliya bet’. They smuggled out more than 6m jews from Europe to America during the world war and today they control most of the big businesses in US. Mossad went further to track, bring to trial and had sentenced to death all hitler’s henchman who participated in Jewish genocide, the last being Adolph heischmac who was tracked to Argentina inspite of the fact he did plastic surgery that changed his face, was tried in Nuremberg and executed courtesy of mossad - Go and read night the novel that won Elie Wiesel Nobel prize in literature for non fiction. During the 1973 Olympics Palestines killed almost the entire Jewish team but Israel mossad put together one of the deadliest strike forces ever known in human history led by Abner Levi. The Palestines that did the killings were all mowed down one after the other. They were killed all over Europe. One became an ambassador in Germany and was killed by a telephone bomb- the last one ran to an Arab country and they gave him the highest security in the country to avoid dying that was around 1975 but Abner and his men was able to break the immigration, country and hotel security to get him- they just told him “Munich 72” and he started crying before Abner killed him with a silencer gun- read the black September a non fiction which also have a movie adaptation that won the academy awards. In 1977 Idi Amin kept boasting he will deal with Jews that when the Palestines hijacked an Airplane going from Tel Aviv to London no nation in Middle East agreed to allow them land when they heard they were Jewish hostages but the foolish Amin agreed to allow them land in Uganda. Mossad coordinated a rescue mission never seen any where in the world- headed by Colonel Joseph Netanyahu- elder brother to the current prime minister Benjamin who was also part of the squad . They rescued the entire Israeli hostages of more than 200 people but Joseph was shot at the back by a dying Ugandan soldier and eventually died in Israel- Read the Non fictional book “Raid at Entebbe” which also has an award winning movie adaptation , that time they called themselves PLO while today they call themselves hamas so Israelis are not a stranger to these kind of crises

Wrap it up abeg . We don tire

They really mean to annihilate hamas

I bet those tunnels were used to traffic children by the Israelis. Dey play. Cleaning up all their evidence. Yeye Dey smell.
