PNN – More than 6 weeks have passed since the start of the Israeli army’s ground attack on the Gaza Strip, Tel Aviv media circles are introducing the tunnels of the Hamas movement as the reason for the successive defeats of its soldiers.
According to the Pakistan News Network; “The tunnel empire of Hamas in Gaza is considered one of the most complex challenges for the Israeli army in the war”; This is a part of the report of the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz in the analysis of the conflict situation.
In the continuation of this report, it is stated that Hamas forces ambush our fighters every day and wait for the moment to come out of the basement and surprise the Israeli officers with gunfire, anti-tank missiles and explosive devices.
Despite the fact that Western circles have repeatedly talked about the impossible idea of ​​sinking Hamas tunnels, the military analyst of Yediot Aharonot newspaper Yossi Yehoshua admitted that even this work “doesn’t upset Hamas’ superiority in underground conflicts.”
Yehoshua mentions the tunnels as “part of the defeat in this war” and states that Israel cannot avoid the important question of how to defeat such a powerful army equipped with global technology.
This phobia of the Israelis started when two days ago, on Friday, December 15, one of the Hamas forces released a video showing the blood left behind and the abandoned weapon of the Israeli soldiers in one of the tunnels.
“The work of their deceived soldiers is over; Their heads will be under our feet” This was the message of the video released by the Hamas forces from inside the tunnels of the Al-Shuja’iyeh region, which circulated widely in the occupied territories.
The Israelis have nicknamed al-Shaja’iyah “nightmare” and are waiting for a repeat of the 2014 defeat whenever the battle reaches that area. During the past days, repeating this scenario, dozens of Israeli soldiers were killed by Al-Qassam forces near the entrance of Hamas tunnels.
Now that the army is stuck in this area, Israeli analysts are surprised by the army’s inability to deal with attacks from Hamas tunnels. In addition to admitting the weakness of Tel Aviv’s intelligence in the field, they say, “We didn’t even know how powerful Hamas had become.”
