"Hamas' 350-Mile Underground Tunnels Turn Gaza into a Fortress"

Hamas' network of underground tunnels in the Gaza Strip is estimated to be over 350 miles long with 5,700 entrance shafts, turning Gaza into a fortress. Israeli officials are intensively searching for Hamas' military leader in the southern Gaza area, where about 100 miles of the tunnels are located. The tunnels have played a central role in Israel's ground offensive, and new intelligence has allowed the IDF to quickly detect and destroy them. Despite significant progress, officials caution that disabling the entire tunnel network could take years.
