These tunnels we're used by Hamas militants in Israel's seven-week war on Gaza in 2014 allowing for Hamas to hide weapons, equipment and troops.
WSJs Rory Jones who visited them in 2014 explains how they pose a unique challenge to Israel and could make urban combat costly for both Israeli soldiers and Palestinian civilians.

Hamas Tunnel How Is It Made
AiTelly11Nov 2023 4Min47sec
Hamas tunnels use different tunneling methods, ranging from simple manual strategies to slightly advanced methods like forepolling and drilling blasts. They also employ reinforced concrete to support the underground structures, which are divided into approximately 7 to 8 levels deep underground. These tunnels are intentionally dug deep to protect against bunker-buster bombs like the one mentioned. The network comprises an estimated 1,300 tunnels, spanning a total length of around 500 kilometers which translates to 310 miles. Some of these tunnels delve as deep as 70 meters (230 feet) underground. Reports indicate that the majority of the tunnels are merely two meters high and two meters wide.

LiveNOW from FOX18 May 2024 13.00min0sec
Nearly 700 tunnel shafts have been identified in Rafah with 50 tunnels leading directly from Gaza's southernmost city into Egypt, Israeli attorney Gilad Noam told the International Court of Justice on Friday. Noam was representing Israel during the two-day emergency hearing after South Africa had called for the ICJ to order a stop to Israel's full-scale operation into Rafah.
During the hearing, Noam explained that Hamas was using the tunnels to supply itself with weapons and ammunition, but that the tunnels could even be used to smuggle hostages out of Gaza.
More than 100 of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas and other terror groups from Israel on Oct. 7 are believed to still be in Gaza, more than seven months later.
Israel has said it will move forward with its full-scale operation into Rafah, in part, to rescue those remaining hostages.
Dr. Asaf Romirowsky, the Executive Director of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East joined LiveNOW from FOXs Josh Breslow to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East, including the newest information on the fight between Hezbollah and Israel.
