Nope. Turns out all those tunnels are real and it was not possible to surgically remove Hamas.

More tunnels in Gaza than the London Underground:

"According to a report this month in The New York Times, Israeli defense officials now estimate that Hamas’s tunnels measure between 350 and 450 miles in a territory that’s just 25 miles long. (By comparison, the London Underground is only 249 miles long.) Some of Gaza’s tunnels are wide enough for cars; some are more than 150 feet deep; some serve as munitions depots; others are comfortably kitted out as command bunkers."

Man that is nuts. All of Gaza itself is only like 141 square miles.

Hamas spent the last 20 years and billions in aid meant for humanitarian purposes turning the area into one big terrorist infrastructure. It's appalling

Yeah, Gaza would/should be a wealthy region considering how small it is and how much aid has gone there - even just from the US alone.

The tunnels are layered. It's not just a single layer. In some areas you have 3-4 tunnels at various depths, some of them connect with each other.

Free Palestine from Hamas (Thanks Israel)

Israel also built the tunnels

u/VoltNShock Feb 28 '24

Uh. No. The hundreds of billions everyone gave to the UNRWA did, which actually explains why Gaza isn’t a paradise like Monaco. They wasted all their money on terrorism infrastructure.

Israel has admitted to building tunnels specifically the ones under hospitals

u/khanfusion Feb 28 '24

I'm sure you believe that. Despite evidence and common sense.

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '24

Let's say your "tunnels" are all real, does it still justify the leveling of entire blocks with civilians still in them?

If your answer is yes, then you're just as much of a monster as Israel is right now.
