The IDF's barrier against the tunnels was successful, but Hamas will try to outwit the system
The exposure of the deepest offensive tunnel to date in the southern Gaza Strip has demonstrated the IDF's technological and operational strength. However, it could lead to a response from the organization that would degrade the arena. Hamas may try to hit the wall or stop the excavation, against the background of settlement processes

The offensive tunnel from Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip into Israeli territory was exposed today (Tuesday) during the construction of the IDF's underground barrier at the border. The combination of the operational solution and advanced technology was formerly known as the "tunnel gallows" by Deputy Chief of Staff General
Eyal Zamir
.
The operational success and excitement that has surrounded the IDF over the past day stems from the ability to locate a tunnel dug tens of meters below the ground, in a layer approaching groundwater. One of the deepest tunnels out of about 20 found to date.

Alongside the technologists and engineers, three key people share the success story in the campaign against the offensive tunnels.
Topping the list was former Chief
Gadi Eizenkot
, applied pressure to develop technologies alongside the promotion walled underground and fence Elite advanced to replace the fence old system.
After reaching government approval and with the budget, eisenkot require additional partners. GOC Southern Command, Major General Zamir, Was a key screw in advancing the huge project - despite the fear of a security deterioration to the point of a large-scale confrontation with Hamas. To
implement the mission in the field, the two brought the IDF's No. 1 "bulldozer", Brigadier General
Eran Ofir
.
He succeeded in recruiting forces from Israel and around the world to advance the complex engineering project, despite the pessimism of two officers: one was a senior general in the General Staff who had already retired from the IDF, and the other was then a lieutenant general and now serves as a lieutenant colonel. The wall and the fence and the assimilation of advanced technology for hunting tunnels.
Fearing security deterioration, they even worked to promote the huge project.

Izenkot's determination with Zamir's support paid off.
Hamas did not fire a single bullet on the day the "drillers" began to dig deep into Israeli soil. Time passed and the terrorist organizations tried to challenge the IDF soldiers, especially the staff of Brigadier General Ofir, but no one Failed to stop the huge venture most of which was completed at the end of about five years.
"The Bulldozer."

In about five months, the construction of all sections of the underground wall and the assimilation of the technology in the field will be completed.
This will be a very tense period in which the IDF will have to be prepared for all the scenarios. Especially for the moment when the "gallows", which Zamir spoke about, descended on all the tunnels and Hamas will have to decide whether to give up or carry out an attack with one of them. Extreme for him, but he can not be ruled out.
It is not for nothing that Defense Minister Bnei Gantz and Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi visited the Gaza Division today and examined the Southern Command forces.
The Ganz office then announced that the minister had today approved the operational plans presented by Southern Command General Herzli Halevi and the division commander, Brigadier General Nimrod Aloni - told Hamas that if it dared to go one step further, the IDF would be prepared for deterioration.

When the struggle for the exposure of the route subsides and its neutralization work by the engineering forces ends, the parties on both sides of the border will continue in the war of minds around the construction and locating of the tunnels.
Hamas did not go on hiatus and will continue to examine how to deceive the system: whether it will try to reach the wall and damage it, or whether it will work to stop the excavation in order to raise dozens of terrorists.
More chapters are expected for the underground world in the south of the country, and this is definitely not the end of the verse.
The message to Sinwar: The Shalit deal will not be repeated
These processes take place in the background of settlement negotiations between Jerusalem and Gaza mediated by Egypt.
The process is done sensitively to avoid security deterioration.
Apparently, last week a rocket was fired at the territory of the State of Israel without response.
The arrangement, which also involves Qatar, which transfers millions of dollars to the Gaza Strip every month, faces an obstacle.
The Israeli message is clear: the Shalit deal will not be repeated, and as long as the Palestinian side does not understand this, there will be no progress on the major projects in Gaza that the Hamas leadership longs for.
Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, must understand that public opinion in Israel has changed since the same deal with everything related to the issue of prisoners and missing persons.
The Israeli public is not interested in seeing prisoners with blood on their hands released from prisons and returning to the circle of terror, so Sinwar will have to compromise significantly with Israel.
