Mengenal Gaza Metro, Terowongan Misterius Milik Hamas yang Bikin Israel Pusing: Panjangnya 500 Km dengan Kedalaman 70 Meter

Terkait Rencana Serangan Darat, Israel Dibuat Pusing dengan Gaza Metro

Regarding the Ground Attack Plan, Israel is Confused by the Gaza Metro.

"Conflict Hamas vs Israel Erupts"

Dream - The Hamas vs Israel conflict resurfaces after the Islamic fighters launch thousands of rockets into Zionist territory. Despite being protected by an advanced defense system called Iron Dome, Hamas rockets continue to ignite in the yards of Israeli citizens. Israel responds to this action by launching airstrikes into the Hamas-controlled Gaza region.

While considering a ground attack, Israel is still contemplating because Hamas has a unique defense system. Hamas has dug many tunnels beneath the Gaza City that may be difficult to tame by the Israeli ground forces.

There are two types of tunnels built by Hamas to attack Israel while also defending the city of Gaza. The first type of tunnel is used to smuggle goods from Egypt and launch attacks on Israel.

While the second type of tunnel is a very extensive underground labyrinth network beneath the city of Gaza. Israeli forces gave the wide tunnel the nickname "Gaza Metro."

This tunnel is used by Hamas to store rockets and ammunition, as well as transport people and goods. Not only that, Hamas uses this underground tunnel as its command center.

In 2021, Hamas claimed to have built underground tunnels beneath Gaza City spanning 500 kilometers. If compared to other structures, Hamas' tunnels are half the length of the New York City subway system.

"The Wide Hamas Tunnel Under the Small-Sized City"

Although this claim is less credible to some military observers, the fact is that this Hamas tunnel complicates Israel. "This is a very complex tunnel network, very large in a somewhat small area," said Daphne Richemond-Barak, a professor at Reichman University in Israel and an expert on underground warfare.

Unknown how much Hamas spent to build the massive tunnel. One thing for sure, the Gaza tunnel makes Israel's military technology less reliable because it is difficult to observe from satellites.

According to Richemond, the Gaza tunnel is very different from the Al Qaeda tunnel built in the mountains of Afghanistan. The same goes for the Viet Cong tunnel made by the Khmer soldiers in the forests during the Vietnam War.

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The Gaza Tunnel is built underground in one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Nearly two million residents live in an area of 227.9 square kilometers that forms the city of Gaza."

"Gaza Metro Complicates Israeli Ground Forces"

"Tunnels are always difficult to handle in any context, even when located in mountainous areas." But if they are in urban areas, then everything becomes more complicated from all aspects," explained Richemond. According to Richemond, handling the Gaza tunnels is complicated in terms of tactics, strategy, operations, and protection for civilian populations."

"Although quite mysterious, some details of the Gaza tunnel are already known to Israeli military experts. The Gaza tunnel is reinforced with concrete and some of them are very deep as protection against air attacks."

Besides being long, Hamas tunnels are also very deep.

"In the past year 2020, the Israeli army successfully discovered a tunnel that has a depth of 70 meters. 'Members of the Yahalom military unit said that the tunnel in the southern part of the Gaza Strip descended up to 70 meters below the surface of the earth,' wrote the Israeli media. The tunnel system in the southern part of the Gaza Strip is equipped with cables for electricity and communication."

The tunnel is wide enough to accommodate two people standing side by side, as well as to move equipment, ammunition, and troops. The average height of the Gaza tunnel is about 2 meters and its width is about 0.3 meters. It is believed that Hamas is hiding hostages there.
