The tunnel war: IDF dismantles Hamas' underground empire-With improved intelligence and advanced drones, the IDF is breaking into the main arteries of Hamas's tunnel network. An Israel Hayom correspondent joined the 7th Brigade forces in Khan Younis to hear how doctrine has changed and what has made underground warfare more effective.by  Neta Bar-Published on  06-07-2025 23:29

Dust clouds from IDF forces operating in the Gaza Strip are visible from afar, deep inside enemy territory. The fine Gazan sand, like a powder, coats everything: soldiers, equipment, shelters. It's almost like a visa stamp for entering the Gaza Strip. This is the first press tour in Gaza since the launch of Operation Gideon's Chariots, the IDF's large-scale military operation announced with great fanfare in mid-May. The overwhelming sense is one of déjà vu.Waves of destruction stretch out before us, dirt roads carved through the wreckage, rows upon rows of burned and demolished houses, occasionally broken by a small yard that somehow survived the war, with a few trees and a lone chicken. Just like in previous visits, the view outside the armored vehicle window reveals total devastation, with no visible trace of the elusive enemy that turned Khan Younis into its fortress. We're riding in a sealed Namer armored personnel carrier, unlike the open jeeps of earlier tours, a sign of the threat from Hamas's explosives-rigged combat zones, the terrorist group's new modus operandi.After a 50-minute drive, a testament to how deep IDF forces are operating inside the Gaza Strip, we disembark directly into a fortified IDF position. There we meet Col. S., commander of the 7th Armored Brigade, who starts the tour with the most important update:"Today we have a far greater ability to destroy Hamas's tunnel systems in Khan Younis than in previous operations," he says. "Thanks to various intelligence assets and data collected and analyzed over months from earlier incursions, we now have capabilities we didn't have before. We've managed to strike and eliminate many terrorists inside the tunnels, and confirm it. Many others are hiding there, and we'll get to them too."Targeting Hamas's tunnels has long been one of the IDF's toughest military challenges in its fight against the group in Gaza. Hamas terrorists use the vast tunnel network, built before the war, to hide, store weapons, and move undetected, sometimes even from town to town. In late April, Israeli media reported that despite intensive fighting and extensive infrastructure damage, only 25% of Hamas's tunnels had been destroyed. Worse still, Hamas has been systematically repairing damaged tunnels and building new ones."In the past, we had to go shaft by shaft, trying to destroy each one to prevent tunnel use," the brigade commander explains, outlining the shift in tactics enabled by improved intelligence.Alongside Col. S. stands Lt. Col. D., commander of the 77th Battalion, whose troops control the sector we're visiting. "We paved the way with a brigade-level assault and captured significant territory north of Khan Younis, this is where you are now," he explains."The goal was to enable other forces to operate deeper in and to take highly strategic underground assets away from Hamas. For the past three weeks, we've been consolidating control to prevent enemy forces from re-entering this area. There are many things we didn't know how to do in the previous maneuver that we now know well. We came in focused and determined and achieved major successes in a very short time," he says, referring in part to strikes on key parts of Hamas's tunnel system.Eyes in the sky-Inside one of the buildings at the fortified post, we ascend a damaged stairwell to a surprisingly well-furnished large living room now serving as the battalion's command center. Amid various classified activities, three female soldiers from an external unit, drone operators, are seated among dozens of male soldiers, scanning aerial footage of the neighborhood on a large screen. One of them is currently flying a drone.S., the team leader, explains:"This area is almost completely devoid of civilians. Our job is to locate terrorists, identify them as legitimate targets, complete the kill chain and verify results. Sometimes we close the circle with a grenade-dropping drone. Since arriving here, we've eliminated numerous terrorists and in at least one case prevented harm to innocent people."Asked about their unconventional deployment, she smiles:"The male soldiers around us are disciplined and very helpful. They're no problem at all. We're here to do a job. It's hard to go so long without a proper shower under these conditions, but it's worth it."The others giggle awkwardly.The "eyes in the sky" that S. and her teammates provide, along with a vast number of drones operated around the clock by the battalion, are central to what has changed on the battlefield. Ambushes, mortar fire, and terrorist infiltration have all become much more difficult under the IDF's constant aerial surveillance. The progress in drone operations is dramatic. Early in the war, drone teams operated single units without night vision. Now, the system is finely tuned and reminiscent of Ukrainian drone units in their war against Russia, where small flying devices became foundational to battlefield strategy and helped materially outgunned forces stay in the fight.Also in the command post is Lt. L., the brigade operations officer, who says:"This time we have the time to work thoroughly so we don't have to come back here again. It's hard to return to a place where people have been killed. That's the guiding principle of this mission."He adds:"The enemy won't be able to return here. It's very systematic, you know exactly where you're going and what the mission is. In the past, you were told to capture an area with no intelligence. Today, we have much better intel. This maneuver is creating a lot of opportunities."For the soldiers of the 77th Battalion surrounding us, discussions of operational length, equipment wear, and harsh conditions in the Gaza Strip are part of daily life."We arrived from the Syrian sector three weeks ago, full of energy and with tremendous force," says Ben, a battalion soldier.Asked about fatigue, some of his comrades respond with a shrug: "What can you do?"Asked if there's anywhere else they'd rather be, the answer is unanimous: "No.""It's hard, it's hot, we haven't showered properly in ages, but we're here for the people of Israel. For me, that's everything. It fills me up and recharges me. I'm not just a cog in the machine. I'm not burned out," says Amit, a soldier who seems to embody the battalion's spirit.Still, he has one request:"Stop fighting among yourselves back home. Stay united. Argue, but understand that we're all one people."As the armored vehicle rattles its way back to the border through clouds of dust and searing heat, Amit's plea is the one thing that sticks in my mind.

Official warns campaign to destroy tunnels will take years-Gaza tunnels stretch at least 350 miles, far longer than past estimate – report-Senior Israeli defense officials tell NY Times there are some 5,700 separate shafts leading to Hamas’s underground network under the Strip, which is only 140 square miles-By ToI Staff 16 January 2024, 7:34 pm

Senior Israeli defense officials now assess that Hamas’s Gaza tunnel network is between 350 and 450 miles long, far longer than previously believed, according to a Tuesday report.The estimate reported by The New York Times is markedly higher than an Israel Defense Forces’ assessment last month that there are some 250 miles of Hamas tunnels under the Gaza Strip, and an astounding figure given the enclave is only some 140 square miles in total size.The newspaper quoted Israeli intelligence officials estimating there are around 100 miles of tunnels under Khan Younis in southern Gaza, where IDF troops are engaged in intensive fighting as they search for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other terror commanders believed to be hiding underground.Two Israeli defense officials who spoke anonymously said there were roughly 5,700 separate shafts leading down to the tunnels.The report stressed that the estimates could not be independently confirmed and noted there are different assessments among Israeli officials on the extent of the subterranean passages.Since launching a ground offensive following in the wake of the October 7 massacres, in which Hamas-led terrorists killed some 1,200 people and took around 240 hostages, Israeli forces have worked to destroy the tunnels, uncovering more and more of the Gaza-ruling terror organization’s underground network. A defense official told the Times that this task has grown easier as the ground offensive pushes deeper in the Strip.The official said the IDF previously may have needed a year to detect a single tunnel, but is now able to do so much quicker as a result of the vast reams of intelligence gathered in Gaza during the ground campaign, finding details on the computers of Hamas operatives involved in the digging and discovering a list of families that “hosted” tunnel shafts in their homes, among other information.The official said the IDF has also figured out about the “triangle” system, with troops likely to find tunnels below an area with a school, hospital or mosque.The official cautioned that it could take years to dismantle the tunnels, noting that underground passages must be mapped and checked for booby traps and hostages before Israeli forces can destroy them.Additionally, the report highlighted the different types of tunnels that Israeli forces have come across in Gaza, such as those used for fighting or manufacturing weapons. There are also differences in quality, with the more sophisticated tunnels slated for senior figures and rudimentary ones for fighters.Last week, the IDF said Hamas has used more than 6,000 tons of concrete and 1,800 tons of steel for its extensive tunnel network, citing new intelligence. It also said Hamas likely invested tens of millions of dollars in the project.Several hostages freed in a ceasefire deal in late November described being held inside tunnels, which Hamas has laid throughout the Gaza Strip and which Israel says have long been used to smuggle weapons and fighters throughout the enclave.It is believed that 132 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza — not all of them alive — after 105 civilians were released from Hamas captivity during the late November truce. Four hostages were released prior to that, and one was rescued by troops. The bodies of eight hostages have also been recovered and three hostages were mistakenly killed by the military. The IDF has confirmed the deaths of 25 of those still held by Hamas, citing intelligence and findings obtained by troops operating in Gaza.

Inside Hamas' terror tunnels: What really lies beneath Gaza-Israel has to wage war on two levels in Gaza: above ground and below ground where hundreds of kms of tunnels snake insidiously, hiding a myriad of secrets and operatives waiting to pounce.Gila Isaacson-MAR 3, 2025 04:57

The Gaza Strip, a narrow 25-mile stretch along the Mediterranean coast, is home to just over 2 million people. Once alive with bustling streets and towering buildings, it now lies in ruins—its surface a scarred testament to decades of conflict. But beneath the rubble, hidden from the world above, sprawls a vast and sophisticated network of tunnels, longer than London’s Underground. This subterranean labyrinth has become Hamas’s most potent weapon in its war against Israel, a shadowy infrastructure used to smuggle weapons, move fighters, and outmaneuver one of the world’s most advanced militaries. How did this underground maze evolve from a desperate lifeline for divided families into the world’s largest subterranean war zone? The answer lies in a story of ingenuity, exploitation, and unrelenting conflict that stretches back decades.Rafah: Where It All Began-Our journey starts in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza with a history as fractured as the land it occupies. Over the 20th century, Rafah changed hands repeatedly—Ottoman, British, Egyptian, Israeli—before a seismic shift in 1979. That year, Israel and Egypt signed a peace treaty, ending decades of hostility. As part of the deal, Israel withdrew from the Sinai Peninsula, and a new border cleaved Rafah in two: one half returned to Egypt, the other remained under Israeli control. Between them rose an impenetrable wall, severing families and neighbors who had lived side by side for generations.The people of Rafah refused to let concrete and barbed wire dictate their lives. Armed with shovels and resolve, they dug the first tunnels—simple, sandy passageways connecting basements on either side of the border. A family in Gaza could slip through to visit relatives in Egypt, defying the wall’s cold division. These early tunnels were a quiet rebellion, a symbol of human connection enduring against all odds.Ready for more? But ingenuity soon met opportunity. With Gaza cut off from Egypt, shortages of essentials like food, fuel, and medicine plagued the Strip. Smugglers saw their chance. What began as family reunion routes morphed into underground trade networks, ferrying car parts, gasoline, and cigarettes into Gaza at steep markups. For a blockaded population, these tunnels became vital arteries—“the lungs through which Gaza breathed,” as one Palestinian poet described them. Egypt and Israel, aware of the smuggling, largely turned a blind eye, tacitly accepting that the tunnels kept Gaza’s economy and morale from collapsing entirely.From Lifeline to Weapon-The tunnels’ transformation into a tool of war began with the First Intifada in 1987. Decades of Israeli control had fueled Palestinian frustration, and protests erupted across Gaza and the West Bank. What started as marches and stone-throwing escalated into armed clashes. Weapons appeared in Gaza’s streets as if conjured from thin air—smuggled through the tunnels that had once carried only cigarettes and hope. Israel’s attempts to destroy them faltered; the network grew more elaborate, and Gazans clung to it as a lifeline.In 1993, the Oslo Accords offered a glimmer of peace, creating the Palestinian Authority (PA) to govern parts of Gaza and the West Bank. Israel asked the PA to crack down on the tunnels and stem weapons smuggling—a test of its commitment to coexistence. But corruption and incompetence crippled the PA’s efforts, leaving the tunnels untouched. By the Second Intifada in 2000, they had become a cornerstone of Palestinian militancy. Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Fatah smuggled arms at unprecedented rates, assembling bombs underground that would later detonate in Israeli cafés and buses, killing over 1,000 civilians. Israel responded with force, demolishing suspected tunnel sites, but the operations displaced families and drew global criticism—yet failed to stop the network’s growth.In 2005, Israel tried a bold gambit: unilateral withdrawal from Gaza. The hope was that self-rule would ease tensions. Instead, it backfired. Without Israeli troops on the ground, Hamas and other groups expanded the tunnels unchecked, turning a covert system into an underground empire.Hamas Takes Control-The tipping point came in 2006, when Gazans elected Hamas to lead them. This wasn’t a blanket endorsement of terrorism—exit polls showed 40% of Hamas voters supported peace, and over a third favored a two-state solution. They saw Hamas as a counterweight to the PA’s corruption. But power-sharing with Fatah collapsed into civil war, and by 2007, Hamas ruled Gaza alone. Their mission was clear: target Israel. Billions in aid, meant for civilian welfare, poured into the tunnels instead, building a war machine carved from rock, some shafts plunging 20 stories deep.For ordinary Gazans, the tunnels retained a dual purpose. Alongside weapons, they delivered food and medicine amid Israel’s and Egypt’s blockades. Smuggling exploded into a lucrative industry, controlled by “Snakeheads”—operators who built tunnels and rented them to militant groups, pocketing up to $200,000 a day. But the labor came at a grim cost. With work permits to Israel revoked after Hamas attacks, Gaza’s men—and often children—turned to digging. Small and agile, kids as young as 10 chiseled through bedrock, risking cave-ins, electrocution, and toxic gases. Hamas itself admits at least 160 died in the process. For these children, the danger was a known trade-off for a few dollars to feed their families.Israel’s Response and the Escalating Stakes-For Israel, the tunnels were an existential threat. In 2006, Hamas fighters emerged from one to kidnap soldier Gilad Shalit, holding him underground for five years. Israel built a high-tech border wall with sonar sensors, but Hamas dug deeper—sometimes hundreds of feet down. Military operations in 2014 destroyed over 30 tunnels, while Egypt flooded others with seawater. Yet the network endured, growing stronger with concrete and steel. By 2021, Israel’s “Steel Dome” initiative claimed to have neutralized 62 miles of tunnels, but Hamas countered that 350 miles remained—a fortified underworld with tiled floors, air conditioning, and plumbing.The cost—estimated at nearly $1 billion—came largely from diverted aid. Cement and steel meant for homes and schools vanished underground, leaving Gaza’s surface to crumble. Israel halted construction material shipments, tightening the blockade and deepening civilian hardship. Today, Hamas wages war from this hidden realm, shielded from airstrikes by layers of earth. Its leaders bunker beneath hospitals and homes, barring civilians from shelter while using them as human shields—a tactic that inflames global outrage when Israeli strikes inevitably kill innocents.A War Without Winners-Israel faces an impossible choice: send soldiers into booby-trapped tunnels, risking their lives, or target Hamas from above, risking civilian casualties and international condemnation. Hamas exploits this dilemma, dragging the conflict into a prolonged quagmire to erode Israel’s global standing. The strategy is working—critics, from citizens to world leaders, accuse Israel of genocide, while its military insists it targets only Hamas, a designated terror group.Above ground, Gaza lies in ruins. Below, the tunnels endure as both lifeline and weapon, a paradox born of desperation and defiance. For the people of Gaza, peace remains a distant dream until Hamas is defeated—and until the world sees the full cost of this underground war. Only then might the Strip’s 2 million souls rebuild a life unshackled from the shadows beneath their feet.ABC contributed to this article.

How Hamas dug its Gaza ‘terror tunnel,’ and how the IDF found it-Diggers probably used electric or pneumatic jackhammers, and progressed 4-5 meters a day. All told, some 3,400 cubic meters of soil were excavated, leaving a traceable signature-By Mitch Ginsburg 16 October 2013, 5:18 am

The tunnel stretching from the outskirts of Khan Yunis to the fields of Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha was meant to facilitate a complex terror attack involving an assault on soldiers or civilians, with the intention of seizing a captive Israeli and holding him or her as a bargaining chip. Senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk confirmed as much on Tuesday, two days after Israeli authorities revealed their discovery.“The tunnel which was revealed was extremely costly in terms of money, effort and blood,” Abu Marzouk wrote on his Facebook page. “All of this is meaningless when it comes to freeing our heroic prisoners.” He went on to detail the lucrative nature of the Gilad Shalit deal, in which 1,027 prisoners were released after the Israeli soldier was kidnapped in just such an attack.Slightly less clear was the manner in which such an “extremely advanced and well prepared” tunnel, as the Gaza Division commander called it, was dug and, later, detected.“They’d begin with a shaft, drilling straight down,” said a former Southern Command officer who served in the IDF’s geology unit. “Then they’d start to move horizontally.”The earth in which the tunnelers began drilling, in the eastern Gaza Strip, he said, is characterized by calcium carbonate – a sort of sand that is fossilized with sea shells. Other parts of Gaza have simple sand layers – beneath dunes – and shallower water tables, and are thus, on both accounts, less conducive to tunneling.In the Rafah region, for instance, he said the water table was perhaps 20 meters beneath the surface. In the Khan Yunis-Ein Hashlosha region, northeast of Rafah, the water table, which sits at around sea level, was roughly 60 meters beneath the surface.The Ein Hashlosha tunnel, which was discovered on October 7 and revealed to the public on Sunday, was 20 meters at its deepest. Counterintuitively, the deeper one digs the more stable the tunnel.“Tunneling is a question of stability of the rocks or soils surrounding the underground cavity,” said the IDF reserves officer. “In principle, the deeper the tunnel, the greater the stability.”To illustrate the difficulties of tunneling just beneath the surface in sand, he suggested recalling days at the beach as a child and the constant caving in of all holes “at the face of the excavation near the surface.”Tunneling through uncemented sands, he said, “can be a nightmare in terms of stability.” The fossilized dunes are more difficult to dig through but are likely to be more stable. He said that the tunnelers in the Gaza Strip have “a very good knowledge” of the ground conditions and would likely have chosen the more stable soil as their surface of choice.Nonetheless, the diggers, whom he deemed professionals, took the unusual precaution of supporting the tunnel with cement arches all through its length. “More often one sees wood used as a support structure,” he added.Two likely contributors to Hamas’s decision to opt for the more costly and more labor-intensive model of cement supports are the nature of the planned attack – a powerful explosive blast could compromise the tunnel — and the fact that it was built for a future attack, at a time of the terror organization’s choosing, and therefore needed to remain intact until the strike was approved.The actual digging was done by one person, likely rotating with an additional laborer. The reserves officer said that the diggers probably used electric or pneumatic jackhammers and could be expected to progress 4-5 meters a day, if all went well in excavating a two-meter-high and one-meter-wide tunnel. After every meter or yard of progress, he said, a concrete support might be inserted. The Ein Hashlosha tunnel ran for 1,700 meters.All told, some 3,400 cubic meters of soil were excavated from the earth in carving the tunnel, the geologist estimated. A mountain of earth that size, even if carted away daily on trucks, leaves a traceable signature and is one way in which the IDF is able to spot the hallmarks of a tunnel. Other ways, according to an academic tunnel-detection expert, include devices that measure sub-surface sound, the strength and direction of a magnetic field, and the propagation or spread of radio and light waves.The seismic method is the most intuitive and monitors the tremors created by people moving and digging underground. The downside of this method, the expert said, is that many actions create tremors, and in an agricultural area, where there is ample foot and vehicle traffic, the seismic method can often sound a false alarm.A magnetometer can, among other things, detect electrical wires or other metal objects, if they are present in a tunnel.Radio waves can also be used, for instance via two boreholes, in which a transmitter and a receiver are plunged into the earth. The way the radio waves propagate between these antennae could be used to detect cavities within the earth.Finally, Israeli researchers Asaf Klar and Raphael Linker, both of the Technion Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, developed a system based on fiber-optic cables that can detect a tunnel at a depth of more than 20 meters. The system forms an underground fence that could “analyze the tunneling-induced changes in the optical fiber,” according to the Technion’s literature, and, on the basis of computer software models, pinpoint the location of the tunnel.The tunnel detection expert, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the Technion-developed system analyzes the shift in the wavelength of a laserbeam that travels through a fiberoptic cable and in that way detects tunneling activity.And yet, he said, each technique has its drawbacks and “what usually works is a combination of all of these approaches.”Gaza Division commander Brig. Gen. Michael Edelstein told reporters on Sunday that the effort spent in finding the 5,500-foot-long tunnel required “the sort of dedication I wish I could detail,” but he did not elaborate.Elhanan Miller contributed to this report

How many nuclear bunkers are there in the world? By GunPundit Team / November 21, 2024

How Many Nuclear Bunkers are There in the World? The threat of nuclear war has been a constant concern for decades, and as a result, many countries have built nuclear bunkers to protect their citizens and leaders from the devastating effects of a nuclear attack. But just how many nuclear bunkers are there in the world? In this article, we’ll explore the answer to this question and delve into the history and purpose of these underground structures.Direct Answer:Estimating the exact number of nuclear bunkers in the world is a challenging task, as many of these structures are classified or hidden from public view. However, based on various sources, including government reports, academic studies, and media articles, it’s estimated that there are over 10,000 nuclear bunkers worldwide.History of Nuclear Bunkers-The concept of nuclear bunkers dates back to the early days of the Cold War, when the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in a nuclear arms race. In the 1950s and 1960s, both countries built extensive networks of underground bunkers to protect their leaders, military personnel, and civilians from the effects of a nuclear attack.Types of Nuclear Bunkers-There are several types of nuclear bunkers, each designed to serve a specific purpose:Command centers: These bunkers are used by government officials and military leaders to coordinate a response to a nuclear attack.Shelters: These bunkers are designed to protect civilians from the effects of a nuclear attack, providing a safe haven for people to seek refuge.Communication centers: These bunkers are used to maintain communication networks during a nuclear attack, ensuring that vital information can be transmitted and received.Military bunkers: These bunkers are used by military personnel to plan and execute military operations during a nuclear attack.Distribution of Nuclear Bunkers-Nuclear bunkers are located in many parts of the world, including:United States: The United States has an extensive network of nuclear bunkers, including the famous Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado, which serves as a command center for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).Russia: Russia has a large number of nuclear bunkers, including the famous Kremlin Bunker, which is located beneath the Kremlin in Moscow.China: China has built a significant number of nuclear bunkers, including the famous Beijing Underground Command Center, which is located beneath the city of Beijing.Europe: Many European countries have built nuclear bunkers, including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
Notable Nuclear Bunkers-Here are some notable nuclear bunkers around the world:
Location     Name     Purpose
Colorado, USA     Cheyenne Mountain Complex     Command center
Moscow, Russia     Kremlin Bunker     Command center
Beijing, China     Beijing Underground Command Center     Command center
London, UK     Cabinet War Rooms     Command center
Paris, France     Matignon Bunker     Command center
Berlin, Germany     Führerbunker     Command center

Conclusion-In conclusion, there are over 10,000 nuclear bunkers worldwide, serving a variety of purposes from command centers to shelters. While the threat of nuclear war is still present, these bunkers provide a sense of security and protection for those who need it most. As the world continues to navigate the complexities of international relations and nuclear deterrence, the importance of these underground structures will only continue to grow.References-"The Nuclear Bunker Boom" by The Atlantic-"The Secret History of the Cheyenne Mountain Complex" by The Guardian-"Russia’s Nuclear Bunkers" by The Diplomat-"China’s Nuclear Bunkers" by The South China Morning Post-"Nuclear Bunkers Around the World" by The Nuclear Threat Initiative
