Times of Israel – Jan 16, 2024
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.
So, Hamas, not created by the Mossad (ahum), build 350 miles professional tunnels and Israel didn’t notice anything of it, just like the Hamas paragliders over the Israeli high tech fences ? How dumb can you be to believe these Jew lies ?

@ Ron Unz / Small Q / thanks for posting – some of – my stuff / but why don´t you allow me to answer Sarita & Marukee
The 770 tunnels & how they are handled by the j. controlled msm incl. the alt. media & the NYPD till now are a perfect litmustest of the politial economical social tyranny (p.e.s.t.) that has the USA and the rest of the world in its claws….imv 8 January 24 was the opening ceremony of WW III….
Vlad P. /penis-pianoplayer Zelensky & of course Mileikowsky aka netanyaWhodid911 aka bibi are all directly Chabad Lubavitch related + all the leaders of the “free” Western nations who play their part in the ZioNato Orchestra….*
If u (meaning anyone) don´t mention the beast by its name u can forget the (possibility of any ) feast…./ the 770 tunnel(s) is the synagogue of satan in action / those who say they are j.´s but are not..

More Israeli propaganda. More deception.
As for the photo, the soldiers are most likely IDF or Mossad personnel dressed in Hamas outfits.
As for the tunnels, saying there are 350 miles of them in Gaza and that they were built by Hamas is meant to serve as a justification by the Israelis for their illegal, brutal, and ruthless invasion.
Tunnels in Gaza? Initially the Israelis were saying they built them, and were used by Hamas during the invasion. We are now to believe Hamas was so sophisticated as to build 350 miles of them in secret from the Israeli Mossad?
Even it there were 350 miles of them and Hamas built them over the years, the alleged tunnels are on Gaza turf. They do not go out of Gaza into Israeli turf. The bottom line is that are DEFENSIVE if built or are being used by the Palestinians.
If these tunnels actually exist , they were built by Israel , so they could covertly slip in and out of Gaza , abducting / killing any Palestinians that they deemed a threat or simply to have their agents in Gaza for intelligence and surveillance purposes.
If 400 miles of underground tunnels is a fact and has been accomplished right under the noses of Israel’s Mossad, to the ears of their uber-sensors and eyes of the aircraft and satellite / surveillance, then imagine what a dozen nuclear boring machine(s) like Elon’s can accomplish. Must be a whole nother world down yonder..
Not saying the Mossad didn’t smell, hear and see plenty of covert digging, it’s just the not noticing the scale of it part I find bizarre and borderline unbelievable. (aka) I don’t believe no 400 miles.
Oops, did I say Elon’s nuclear borer? My bad. Meanwhile, this electric one will do for show.
Big Daddy
The Liars are gunna need $666 trillion goydollars to fix this stool, pay up yankee right now.
And as you are handing over the money to rothschild just ask them to see where is the spoil from such excavations, any at all?
Fish swim, birds fly, and JEWS lie!
All lies, all the time!
One of these tunnels appeared at the end of my garden adjacent to a large and very old Eucalyptus..
… it had obviously broken ground in the middle of night…and the tunnelers.. one in fatigues and balaclava the other dressed like an undertaker with forelocks…had due to confusion and the darkness.. run into the path of an oncoming juggernaut full of migrants being transported to a local village from the collection point in Hastings… which of course flattened them both outright…
The NYPD kindly popped round to scrape the evidence up of the road and filled the tunnel in with concrete for me…
No charges are expected…
From pre-history to the present, people have been making tunnels and caverns, and the Nazi ones surprised the Allies with their extent. Books about the big underground bases do not get much attention: Miles Johnston started off by being interested in them
Those tunnels sure are pristine…almost as if they were constructed above ground in Tel Aviv for a photo shoot or something… That’s the first tunnel I’ve ever seen in which you could literally eat off the floor. But the Times of Israel would certainly never attempt to spew bullshit, right?
@ fuck jew LIAR
All of he tunnels in Palestine were built by the fake “Israelis” (TM) a Rothschild & Associates criminal cabal and death cult and the person that stated it was Ehud Barak on national television who in the 2000s stated it and their was no misunderstanding of what he said. All reinforce concrete are additions by ISIS (Israeli Secret Intelligence Service as you cannot find anywhere in Judah and annexed territory of the Phoenicians who the Samaritans were called Israel in even the Yahudi maps, as Judah is late comer, they hated the Phoenicians and expecially the Samaritans who had been there probably well over 1000 years before what the true Canaanites (those of Siberian stock as Mongolia did not exist) and it is the Canaanite blood line that has been running the show. The UK for it’s evil for the last 600 years should just be snuffed out of existence as well and the majority of what are called Americans but the Dutch Jews brought them to the US Corporation as it has never been a country and those who died in war are following the fact that “If my sons did not want war their would be none – Lady Rothschild, wife of Amschel Bauer). The international Jews need to be rounded up along with crypto Jews such as Bush, Van Rosenvelt, and several others that created the exchange of ownership of the US which has always been capitalized which denotes admiralty law so any living person is birthed dead in the water and the only thing that is important for anyone in the world now are the transactions (i.e. the Strawman in OZ), and the TIN man is the corporation as it has no heart, and the yellow brick road is the entire amount of gold in 1933 transferred to the Rothschilds and stowed in the also purchased back in 1832, the Vatican, but the city was created in 1929, Washington DC is another non American death cult and the UK lost their gold in 1931 thanks to the most wretched man to live in the last 500 years, fat, drunk, stogie smoking fool, Winston Churchill which killed more people in the 19th century than any other by a long margin except for the indigenous and all the nature lost to the American military which both are Luciferian which means they are too stupid to know that this 3rd century name from a jewish scribe Jerome, from Halal or Halel which is 1 or many so on the US dollar the term one of many are the jews who are your god if you have a brain and know that they themselves are the Elohim as they are equal to god so read some of the most damming evil ever written by nut job bipolar psychopaths called the Babylonian Talmud and if you read English the Soncino Talmud is a direct translation (30 volume set). Know real history and the Babylonians are 30 volumes of which hardly any has been translated as the mathematics is beyond what we now understand and yes, they knew real time mathematics / calculus. Others are Assyrians, Persians, Sumerians, Akkadians, Chaldeans… which all have a history that can be identified in sequence not the stolen concepts of others of which Thomas Jefferson stated that they have no direction or consistency in their Torah. At least the NT and Quran had some value.
