A recent report broadcast on Israel's Channel 12 has provided an update on the status of Hamas's tunnel network in the Gaza Strip. The report indicates that, despite a year and a half of military operations following the events of October 7th, a substantial portion of the tunnel infrastructure remains.
Specifically, the report revealed that the Israeli Defense Forces (IOF) have only managed to neutralize approximately 25% of the tunnels. This suggests that Hamas still maintains a significant operational capacity, both on the surface and underground.
According to an internal security briefing cited in the report, a considerable 75% of the tunnels are still intact and actively used by Hamas. These tunnels are crucial for movement, providing shelter, and facilitating various operations within the Gaza Strip. The network is often described as a vast subterranean city.

The continuous reports of tunnel networks misunderstand the complexity of the conflict. More military operations won't solve the issue.

Instead of focusing on tunnel infrastructure, why not talk about rebuilding efforts for Gaza? It’s time for a change in approach.

It's good that this information is coming to light. Understanding the operational capacity of the enemy is key to national security.

It’s frustrating to watch this cycle of violence continue without any meaningful resolution being sought.

With seemingly so much of the tunnel network intact, it's clear why military operations must continue. Security first!

Understanding the scale of the tunnel network helps explain why there’s still significant military presence in Gaza.
